"JUST TALK"
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.

More than 5,000 American flags were planted on a grassy area of the National Mall, each representing a veteran or a service member
who died by suicide through early October 2018, an average of 20 suicides per day. Ryan Conklin straightens some flags at the site.
Conklin is an Iraq and Afghanistan (U.S. Army) veteran who lost several comrades and a close friend to suicide.

Dec 2018Military.com | By Richard
Sisk
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
top VA official said

The Department
