Complicated Grief Among Military Service Members and Veterans Who Served After September 11, 2001

Service members and Veterans are at risk for complicated grief (i.e., having intense grief symptoms such as nonacceptance of the death and preoccupation about the deceased). This study had 468 mental health treatment-seeking Service members and Veterans complete questionnaires regarding their complicated grief symptoms, mental health symptoms, and quality of life. Results indicated that the prevalence of complicated grief was high among participants and that complicated grief was associated with a number of mental health symptoms.
