Military Veterans, Unemployed More Likely To Commit Suicide
The Orlando Sentinel (9/22, Shrieves) reports, "At a time when government funds for mental health help have dried up, Americans are in greater danger of becoming depressed and suicidal -- because of unemployment and the recession. Add in returning war veterans and you've got a potential mental health crisis."
The Sentinel adds, "According to [the] National Alliance on Mental Illness, people who are unemployed and military veterans are at higher risk of suicide." The Chicago Tribune (9/22) runs the same story, under the same headline.
