service-related psychiatric disorders

Service-related psychiatric disorders are mental health conditions that develop due to experiences during military service, such as combat, trauma, or stress. Common issues include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. These disorders can affect a service member’s thoughts, feelings, and daily functioning, sometimes long after leaving active duty. Recognizing and treating these conditions is essential for recovery, and understanding their origins helps provide appropriate support. If you or someone you know has served and is experiencing mental health challenges, professional help can make a significant difference.
