Mental disorders account for significant morbidity, health care utilization, disability, and attrition from military service; the health care burden associated with mental disorders has increased over the last several years. During the years 2000 through 2011, 936,283 active component service members were diagnosed with at least one mental disorder. Annual counts and rates of incident diagnoses of mental disorders have increased by approximately 65 percent over the last twelve years; this overall increase is largely attributable to diagnoses of adjustment disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Rates of incident mental disorder diagnoses were higher in females than males and in service members under 30 years of age. These findings reinforce previous reports that have documented a rise in demand for mental health services in the active component force and suggest that continued focus on detection and treatment for mental health issues is warranted.
精神障碍导致了严重的发病率、医疗保健利用率、残疾以及军人服役期的损耗；在过去几年中，与精神障碍相关的医疗保健负担有所增加。在2000年至2011年期间，936,283名现役军人被诊断出至少患有一种精神障碍。在过去十二年中，精神障碍的年度诊断病例数和发病率增加了约65%；总体增长主要归因于适应障碍、抑郁和焦虑障碍以及创伤后应激障碍的诊断。女性和30岁以下军人的精神障碍发病率高于男性。这些发现强化了之前的报告，这些报告记录了现役部队对心理健康服务需求的上升，并表明有必要继续关注心理健康问题的检测和治疗。
