SAMHSA – New Report on Depression and Treatment Among Veterans

Posted in Health and Science on November 25, 2008 by landdgrantblog

New Report on Depression and Treatment Among Veterans


Source: Office of Applied Studies

Did you know?

An estimated 9.3 percent of veterans aged 21 to 39 (312,000 persons) experienced at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year.>> Read More



Recent research indicates that an estimated 25 to 30 percent of the veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have reported symptoms of a mental disorder or cognitive condition. Untreated mental health problems can result in long-term negative consequences for the affected individuals, their families, their communities, and our Nation as a whole.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) includes questions about military veteran status, MDE, and treatment for depression. This issue of the NSDUH Report examines data from veterans aged 21 to 39, an age group that includes veterans with relatively recent service. The report provides data on the prevalence of past-year MDE, levels of impairment resulting from MDE as measured by the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), average number of days unable to carry out normal activities due to MDE, and past-year treatment for MDE.
