- It is important to understand mental health concerns among OEF/OIF Veterans in order for the Veterans Affairs (VA) department to better treat these individuals. Prevalence and care for mental health diagnoses were explored among a national sample of OEF/OIF Veterans receiving VA mental health care. One quarter of Veterans received a mental health diagnosis, most commonly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a majority were first diagnosed in non-mental health settings.
