Suicide is the second leading cause of death for US veterans aged 18 to 44 years.1 The 2024 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report disclosed that of the 6407 veterans who died from suicide in 2022, 60% had a prior mental health diagnosis.1 The report showed improved suicide rates among veterans with certain mental health conditions, such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety, from 2001 to 2022, potentially due to expanded mental health care access for patients with trauma and increased telehealth availability.1,2 For conditions like PTSD, receiving first-line evidence-based treatment also lowered suicide risk.3 Veteran suicide rates have risen 16.2% for those with opioid use disorder since 2001, while falling 13.7% for alcohol use disorder—though the latter rose 1.2% between 2021 and 2022.1

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, or contact the Veterans Crisis Line: www.veterancrisisline.net.
