Mental health disorders have historically accounted for significant morbidity, health care provision, disability, and attrition from military service. From 2019 through 2023, a total of 541,672 active component service members of the U.S. Armed Forces were diagnosed with at least 1 mental health disorder. Crude annual incidence rates of at least 1 mental health disorder decreased from 2019 to 2020, but then increased continually from 2021 until 2023. Most incident mental health disorder diagnoses during the study period were attributable to adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, 'other' mental health disorders, and alcohol-related disorders. Efforts to assist and treat service members should continue to promote help-seeking behavior to improve their psychological and emotional well-being and reduce the burden of mental health disorders, especially as rates have been increasing since the COVID-19 pandemic. Annual incidence rates for service members diagnosed with at least 1 mental health disorder increased from 2021 through 2023, coincident with the COVID-19 pandemic. Incidence rates for anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder increased substantially from 2019 to 2023, nearly doubling during that period.
从历史上看，心理健康障碍在发病率、医疗保健服务、残疾以及军人服役损耗方面都占据了相当大的比例。2019年至2023年期间，美国武装部队共有541,672名现役军人被诊断出至少患有一种心理健康障碍。至少患有一种心理健康障碍的粗年发病率在2019年至2020年有所下降，但随后从2021年到2023年持续上升。在研究期间，大多数新发心理健康障碍诊断归因于适应障碍、焦虑症、抑郁症、“其他”心理健康障碍以及与酒精相关的障碍。协助和治疗军人的工作应继续促进寻求帮助的行为，以改善他们的心理和情绪健康，减轻心理健康障碍的负担，尤其是自新冠疫情以来发病率一直在上升的情况下。2021年至2023年期间，被诊断出至少患有一种心理健康障碍的军人年发病率上升，这与新冠疫情同时发生。焦虑症和创伤后应激障碍的发病率从2019年到2023年大幅上升，在此期间几乎翻了一番。
