Suicide in the Military

Abstract

Active duty service members and veterans are committing suicide at an alarming rate, and the methods and criteria currently used to diagnose suicidal indicators seem to be lacking. More focus needs to be put on finding effective ways of analyzing and identifying these indicators. Studies have shown that a precision medicine model can effectively aid in assessing suicide risk, and more emphasis needs to be applied in establishing a precision medicine model. Additionally, the current six method process used in screening applicants before acceptance to service needs to include a psychological evaluation by a medical professional.
