Objective: Few studies have examined rates of distress of military personnel during deployment to a war zone.

National Guard Soldiers were given self-report questionnaires while deployed in a war-zone to determine their levels of PTSD and depressive symptoms, and to identify behaviors associated with emotional distress.

We used an anonymous self-reported questionnaire to assess posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, relationship concerns, and treatment preferences including interest in family-focused interventions among 100 National Guard Soldiers who were recently redeployed from Iraq or Afghanistan.

Self-reported data were used to assess posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, relationship and parenting concerns, and treatment preferences among National Guard members who were recently redeployed from Iraq or Afghanistan.

Contemporary military Service members and their families face unique stressors that impact the quality of romantic relationships.

Data from Military couples in which the male is an Army or National Guard member with at least one deployment were used to examine the associations among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, attachment style (e.g., secure, avoidant, and anxious), and the risk for intimate partner violen

This study examined the relation between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity and aggression (verbal, psychological, and physical aggression) in a longitudinal dataset.

The authors examine the relationship between specific posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and interpersonal aggression (verbal, psychological, and physical) among male Veterans completing a residential PTSD treatment program.

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects nearly 1 in 8 mothers and has many negative implications. Studies show particular risk factors are linked with PPD. There are nearly 200,000 women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, but little is known regarding PPD and active duty (AD) mothers.

An exploratory study of rates and psychosocial risk factors (e.g., prenatal anxiety and depression, low self-esteem life stress, etc.) of postpartum depression in the military was conducted at Wilford Hall Medical Center with active duty women Service members.
