The largest and most comprehensive study on veterans who sought treatment for depression in the government’s health care system was conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs and University of Michigan. The joint effort detailed records from more than 800,000 veterans, including troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, revealed that veterans receiving treatment for depression are no more likely to take their own lives as compared with civilian patients.
The study yielded 1,683 suicides in all, a rate of less than one-quarter of one percent
