Moral Injury and Operator Syndrome
Briefly

"OS, as it is sometimes referred, is a phrase coined by Chris Frueh and colleagues (2020) to describe the unique and natural constellation of health and performance effects that SOFs experience, particularly an extraordinarily high allostatic load."
"Among the pattern of interrelated afflictions are traumatic brain injury, hormonal dysregulation, sleep apnea, chronic pain, depression, anger, insomnia, and addiction."
"Operator syndrome also includes social systems of family, work, and cultural environment and psychological factors such as posttraumatic stress disorder, anger, and depression, and existential issues like a mindset that discounts the future, loss and grief, survivor's guilt, the meaning of killing, and fear of developing 'invisible wounds,' including suicide."
