Topic: Mental health issues among active-duty service members and veterans.

Target population: Active duty service members and veterans

A significant portion of active duty service members and veterans struggle with mental health. With
a reported 16.6% to 30% of active duty and reserve military personnel having been diagnosed with
mental health disorders. Those numbers are rising with veterans who report to struggle with mental
health after leaving the military. A large number of members often go undiagnosed due to a stigma
surrounding mental health issues in the U.S. Some members also may not know of the many
organizations who are dedicated to helping those who may struggle with depression and PTSD or
other forms or mental health issues. The resources listed below are a few of the many readily
available organizations who provide support for those military service members who struggle with
mental health.
