Wounds of War: Veterans and Mental Health

Research shows up to half of Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans may have some kind of mental health disorder. And here in Utah, veterans are more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Mental health experts discuss the challenges in getting help where it’s needed, what can lead to positive outcomes, and the national strategy to keep these heroes safe.
