The fatigue, irritability and various other symptoms that comprise Gulf War syndrome do not seem to be related to a formal psychiatric disorder, new study findings show.
Furthermore, Gulf War veterans do not appear to have a higher rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or any other psychiatric illnesses than non-Gulf War veterans, UK researchers report.
“Whatever is the nature of ill health in Gulf veterans, it can’t be explained by mental illness,” Dr. Khalida Ismail, from Guy’s, King’s and St. Thomas’s School of Medicine in London, told Reuters Health. But it is still unclear why Gulf veterans report ill health more often than non-Gulf veterans do, he added.
