Veterans who commit suicide are 95% male and the crisis is often driven by marital disputes and a resulting inabiilty to see their children on a regular basis, experts and advocates said.
American male veterans kill themselves in shockingly disproportionate numbers compared to civilians. "About 90% of veteran suicides come in the immediate wake of a family incident." "Losing custody of your kids is often the final straw." "I have less than $200 to my name … I am now transient at best … Clearly, my efforts and life are not worth anything." "Our top clinical priority is to offer comprehensive support that is designed to save lives." "We're told to seek treatment. [But] you have no idea it'd be used to keep you from your kids." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The suicide ratio among civilians is 4 to 1, male to female.
