May is National Mental Health Month. As our forces redeploy from Afghanistan and the number severely combat wounded service members drops we are even more acutely aware of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who struggle with behavioral health problems and associated issues of substance dependence and sometimes family violence. While we have reduced stigma for acknowledging these issues to some degree, we need to continue to do even more. Here at the U.S. Army Research and Materiel Command we need to re-double our dedication to finding more objective ways to make diagnoses and better methods of both prevention and treatment. These issues will dominate the narrative about any progress we are making to make medical care better for our troops for as far into the future as we can see.
