Mental illness common in returning U.S. soldiers
Mon Mar 12, 6:02 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - High rates of mental health disorders are being
diagnosed among US military personnel soon after being released from duty in
Iraq and Afghanistan, according to investigators in San Francisco.
They estimate that out of 103,788 returning veterans, 25 percent had a
mental health diagnosis, and more than half of these patients had two or
more distinct conditions.
Those most at risk were the youngest soldiers and those with the most combat
exposure, Dr. Karen H. Seal at the Veterans Administration Medical Center
and associates report in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

If they will stop telling lies about Democrats,
we will stop telling the truth about them." -
