Military service members and veterans have made huge sacrifices in order to protect and serve. But those sacrifices don’t end when they return to civilian life — for many, their struggle with mental health is a life-long battle.
Forty-three percent of veterans say their mental health is worse than before they enlisted in the military, according to a survey on veteran mental health by healthcare company APN. Forty-five percent of respondents don’t anticipate an improvement in their mental health within the next year, and a quarter of veterans don’t know where to seek out mental health services to treat their issues.
