Returning service members and military veterans often confront trauma and other mental health challenges, and when they don't receive help, it often ends in tragedy—with more than 6,000 military veterans dying every year to suicide.
Picture a soldier returning home, only to find that the real battle has just begun. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with Dr. Dustin Brockberg, an Army veteran and psychologist, to dive into the mental health struggles faced by military veterans. Dr.
Brockberg brings a unique perspective, blending his professional expertise with personal experience to shed light on the emotional toll of trauma, depression, anxiety, and other co-occurring disorders that many veterans face. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like suicide, which claims the lives of over 6,000 veterans each year. Dr.
Brockberg also touches on how military culture can sometimes hinder veterans from seeking the help they need and highlights the efforts of the VA to provide essential mental health services. Families of servicemen and women aren't forgotten either; their challenges and the support available to them are also discussed.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the struggles and hopes of those who have served, emphasizing the importance of reaching out for help and the healing that can come from recovery.
