Suicide Epidemic Amongst Military Veterans - Part 2

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/14/cbsnews_investigates/main3503362.shtml

During the last several years, more and more enlisted service men and women are seeing combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. While they believe in their mission and know that they will honor their commitment, many find that, after their time of service, they have difficulty processing what they saw on the front lines.

Of those who serve in today's wars, nearly all will see a dead body. Almost all of those who see combat will experience incoming fire, be shot at or otherwise attacked. Many will experience being ambushed or will be on the receiving end of rocket or mortar fire. But perhaps the most disturbing element of service in Iraq is that nearly all who serve will know someone who is injured or killed during the course of duty.

Many who experience traumatic events will be able to readjust easily. Others, however, return home with mental health concerns. Some experience depression, others turn to alcohol or drugs to self-medicate. Many others experience the effects of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Are you or a loved one suffering from the effects of war? Have you been diagnosed with PTSD? It is imperative that you seek medical attention immediately.
