Psychiatric News (7/22) reported, “American service members whose anger causes them significant distress and decreased function (problematic anger) during their transition to civilian life may have a higher risk of mental health conditions such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder,” investigators concluded after examining data from “3,448 participants in two waves of the Millennium Cohort Study.” The study also revealed that “service members who have problematic anger during the transition are more likely to have difficulty in their relationships and experience financial instability.” The findings were published online July 21 in JAMA Network Open.
