Study Shows High Number of Mental Health Injuries
As the article states, I am sure it is higher. There is a stigma in the military (just like in most of society) that views mental illness as a weakness and treats anyone that tries to seek assistance for it like a pariah. These soldiers also have the risk of losing security clearances that are vital to not only maintaining their current jobs, but needed to pursue jobs in the civilian sector supporting their expertise.

I have been wondering about the same and looking for answers to certain questions on mental illness and I must say it was nice to reach your article. I would also like to share that in AL there is a shortage of doctors to treat mental illness and also the life span of those suffering is about 25% less than normal humans.
