Military members often face severe and life-altering challenges during their service, much more frequently than the civilian population. When they return, it’s crucial to address their mental and behavioral health issues, which may have developed as a direct result of their experiences in service.
Adverse effects of service life can include substance use disorders and mental illnesses. Deployment often triggers harmful habits such as smoking, excessive drinking, and drug use, along with exposure to traumatic and high-risk activities. These issues may escalate into severe conditions over time. Strict policies and concerns about confidentiality can deter personnel from seeking necessary support. Post-discharge, the prevalence of these disorders often increases, with a significant number of veterans diagnosed with substance use issues and many others facing depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
