Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders among Veterans

Other than PTSD, researchers found that nearly three fourths (73.6%) of Iraq/Afghanistan veterans screened positive for one or more psychiatric conditions, half (51.2%) screened positive for three or more, and one in three (34.9% or45/129) screened positive for five or more psychiatric conditions. Similarly, veterans deployed in the Gulf War were found to have approximately double the rates of depression and generalized anxiety disorder in comparison to men in the general population.
