TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Suicide in U.S. veterans JO - American journal of forensic psychology A1 - Marvasti, J.A. A1 - Wank, A.A. SP - 27 EP - 54 VL - 31 IS - 4 N2 - More than two and half million U.S. military personnel were involved in Middle East wars during last decade, and most have returned to the United States. One third returned with PTSD, and almost one half are suffering from psychiatric and substance use disorders. The number of suicides among combat veterans has substantially increased to the point where the military and civilian communities are concerned. The act of suicide may contain a message, a protest, an act of revenge, or an escape from unbearable suffering. In this article, we will focus on one of the many unfortunate consequences of war: self-destructive behavior in veterans. Copyright 2013 American Journal of Forensic Psychology.
