Veteran Suicide Statistics
Several studies have found veteran suicide rates are 37% higher than reported by the VA, with more veterans dying by suicide than in combat. Veterans have a 57% higher risk of suicide than those who haven’t served. Over 125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001, making suicide the second leading cause of death in veterans under the age of 45. The rate of suicide for veterans in the LGBTQ+ community is up to 7x higher than non-LGBTQ+ veterans, and more than 70% of veteran suicides occurred outside VA health care. Another study has shown that more than 80% of post-9/11 veterans say that the public does not understand the problems those who have served face in transitioning to civilian life, with over 40% of veterans stating that they experience high levels of difficulty when transitioning. Further studies on those veterans transitioning to civilian life show that those individuals are 5x more likely to experience suicidal ideation.
Mango Cannabis encourages all readers to be aware of the statistics above and support the veterans in their local communities.
Mango Cannabis will be taking donations on behalf of Veteran X to support their mission. Online donations can be made here.
