Military Mental Health Statistics

Active duty depression affects 5.3% over a 12 month period, while PTSD reaches 23% among post 9/11 veterans and can raise suicide risk fourfold, creating a brutal two way link between trauma and mental health outcomes. This page connects the most recent care pressures with what they mean on the ground, from 20 day average wait times for new VA mental health patients to how treatments like CPT and CBT drive faster remission, so you can see where the system helps and where gaps still leave people at risk.
