Mental health leading cause of military hospital stays

Chris Engel 9/26/1312:20 PM

"Through 2012, mental illness in the military took up more days for hospitalization than any other mental or physical problems, including war wounds, accidents, illness or pregnancies....

"Mental health inpatients made up only 26% of troops hospitalized last year, but they accounted for half of the days troops spent in hospitals. Nearly eight of 10 troops hospitalized for PTSD have been on at least one combat deployment."
