Mental health

About a quarter of all suicide deaths occur among troops caught up in legal or administrative battles - sometimes for minor infractions.

After two deadly collisions and a cluster of suicides, the Navy is providing more mental health counseling to sailors where they work.

Though military suicide has been a problem for decades, critics say the Pentagon hasn’t come to terms with the fact that anyone can potentially be at risk.

Some service members and health experts say the Pentagon isn't doing enough to address eating disorders, which are sometimes linked to the military's strict weight limits.

Soldiers are dying by suicide at the highest level since 9/11, and while some bases are trying do more to help prevent suicide, critics say its not enough.

A VA study concluded that veterans experience bulimia at about three times the civilian rate.

The study of military dependents found more than 40 percent reported low mental well-being, often because of separations and a lack of connections in their lives.

Fewer than 20 percent of veterans suffer from PTSD, but most Americans think the disorder is far more common.

If approved by a federal court, the legal settlement will force the Army to review the discharges of recent veterans with mental health issues.

New federal laws seek to improve mental health care for veterans and their families. But advocates say it will take time for local communities to feel the effects.
