As
noted in the VA/DoD clinical
guidelines,
depression impacts active-duty service members returning from combat in Iraq and
Afghanistan at a high rate. For example:
- 7-14
percent of combat soldiers returning from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)
and 8-15 percent returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) met the
screening criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD).
- Diagnostic
prevalence rates likely underestimate the true occurrence of MDD because
many individuals with the disorder never seek treatment.
If
you suspect that a loved one has PTSD, it’s important to seek help right away.
The sooner PTSD is treated, the easier it is to overcome. PTSD can interfere
with your partner’s entire life, health, relationships and work. You
can take a free anonymous screening on behalf of your partner online.

Suicide rates
among veterans 34 and younger have spiked in the last two years,
leading the Department
of Veterans Affairs to focus more on the
18-to-34-year-old age group than civilian programs for suicide prevention do, a
