Mental Health Crisis Deepens in Iraq Deployments
The Courant finds that fewer than 1 in 300 deploying service members see mental health professionals before shipping out and many are kept on antidepressants with little counseling. Some with PTSD are redeployed, raising risk to mental health as death by own action rates climbed in 2005. Records obtained show limited pre deployment screening and poor referrals, prompting concerns from experts about patient safety and military readiness.
