Summary
The mental health needs of U.S. military veterans returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) are substantial: 25%–40% of veterans returning from these conflicts report significant mental health symptoms or interpersonal difficulties ( 1 , 2 ). Psychiatric morbidity, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and substance use disorders, has a significant impact on these soldiers' mental and general health status, role functioning, and employment
