The exact number of returning soldiers from the Iraq War who have committed suicide varies by source, but estimates suggest that thousands of veterans may have taken their own lives. Studies indicate that the suicide rate among veterans has been significantly higher than that of the general population, with estimates often cited around 22 veterans a day, including those from Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The mental health challenges faced by these veterans, including PTSD and depression, contribute to this tragic issue. Efforts continue to address mental health support for returning service members.
