 In a recent survey by the RAND Corporation of nearly 2,000
veterans of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom,
half the respondents reported they had a friend who was killed or
seriously wounded. Nearly half—45 percent—said they saw
dead or seriously injured non-combatants. Not surprisingly, the
rate of respondents who met the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) or depression was relatively
high, at 18.5 percent. Based on these data, RAND estimates that
some 300,000 veterans who have returned from Iraq and
Afghanistan are suffering from PTSD or major depression.
