Washington -
New figures from the Pentagon reveal a record number of military suicides in 2012, the third time in four years in which suicides outnumbered combat deaths among active duty US personnel.
A new outreach center has been opened to help service members, veterans and their families with psychological health problems and traumatic brain injuries. It operates 365 days a year, 24/7. It is staffed by top experts in their field.
The United States must ramp up mental health support to soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to prevent suicides, according to author Penny Coleman.
