Mental Health Top Reason for US Troop Hospitalization in 2023: Study - The Defense Post
Mental health problems have been found to be the top reason why active-duty US military personnel were hospitalized in 2023.
A new Defense Health Agency (DHA) report reveals that nearly one-third of the roughly 62,800 cases of troop hospitalization last year were for mental health treatment.
Of all military services, the US Army accounted for most of the mental health cases with a little more than 8,000. The US Navy and Air Force followed suit with 5,257 and 3,554 cases, respectively.
