Female veterans have twice the suicide rate
Only acceptable number among military is ‘zero’, says Veterans' Affairs Minister
One in five veterans have been prescribed antidepressants, and ex-serving women take their own lives at twice the rate of civilian women, research shows.
The death rate for ex-serving men between 2002 and 2017 was 18% higher than other Australian men, according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare figures released on Friday.
