"WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Friday called for an investigation into reports that U.S. officials tried to discourage post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses.
Obama, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, wrote to Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Peake, urging him to look into a Washington Post report that Norma Perez -- a psychologist at the Department of Veterans Affairs' Olin E. Teague Veterans' Center in Temple, Texas -- urged staff members to "consider a diagnosis of adjustment disorder" rather than post-traumatic stress disorder for patients there. "
