Reality In Numbers
- Almost one in five veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq will experience mental illness.
- Approximately 30 percent of veterans treated in the veterans health system have depressive symptoms, two to three times the rate of the general population.
- Approximately 40 percent of homeless veterans live with mental illnesses.
- Take a moment today to say thank you to all the veterans for giving their lives and to those whose lives will never be the same. God Bless you!
