- A large, representative sample (N = 9,845) of military couples from the Millennium Cohort Study self-reported on their mental health symptoms. These reports were used to examine the prevalence of eight psychiatric conditions (anxiety, depression, panic, alcohol misuse, somatization [psychological issues reflected as physical symptoms such as back pain and headaches], binge eating, insomnia, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)) among spouses of service members. Analyses were conducted to understand if factors such as service member symptoms, deployment, and combat exposure were associated with their spouses’ mental health.
