As to the war issue, I agree that war makes for really dangerous bed fellows. I have a friend whose husband had nightmares continuously and she had to calm him down at least weekly, if not nightly. She was afraid he would be violent with her, and eventually, they separated. What a shame that was. We send them to fight for our "freedoms", I guess that's the freedom to charge what we like for oil and gas, then deny them adequate psychiatric help to get over the trauma. Not even taking into account that they are so messed up, it is difficult or impossible for them to go back to work.
I don't know what the answer is, but, I know that a reasonable man is not going to equate sexuality with a hormone level that is out of balance. Of course, that's the problem. They hide any symptoms if they can, and doctors, being men, are hesitant to go there.
Ever heard of a woman going through menopause? "She's hormonal" is a common phrase. You rarely hear "he's hormonal", do you?
