Did you know? 🤔 PTSD isn't the only mental health issue that affects active military service members and veterans. In fact, a recent study conducted from 2017 to 2021 revealed a concerning rise in eating disorders among active U.S. military service members. The results of this study showed that the rate of new cases per 10,000 individuals per year increased from 2.8 to 5.0 over a span of 5 years. In other words, the number of cases each year more than doubled by the end of the 5-year period. Prevention through education and awareness is key to slowing the rising cases of eating disorders everywhere, and especially in our military service members ❤️🤍💙 #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthawareness #veterans #veteranmentalhealth #eatingdisorderawareness
