22 Veterans Commit Suicide Each Day!
It’s Time to Try Something Different
Most of our Nation Heroes who served overseas suffer from mental illness.
The most common illness inside our Veteran Community include:
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Suicidal Ideation
- Alcohol Abuse
- Drug Abuse
• Military service members and veterans are often reluctant to seek mental health care. Surveys uncovered widely held attitudes that can inhibit use of mental health services:
• Concern that admitting a mental health problem is a sign of weakness
• Fear that use of mental health services will have negative career repercussions with veterans, (especially among active-duty personnel, who are required to disclose treatment)
• Skepticism about the effectiveness of treatment and concerns about the negative side effects of
medication.
• The mental health workforce has insufficient capacity. Mental health specialty care for conditions such as PTSD and depression are not readily available in many parts of the country. Most mental health specialists are concentrated in urban areas. Even where specialty care is available,limited health plan coverage may reduce access for veterans seeking care outside of the VHA.
