WASHINGTON Cheap Yevhen Konoplyanka Jersey , Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Many U.S. troops who were diagnosed with depression or post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and thus at high risk for suicide failed to receive appropriate care, according to a new study released Monday.
Only 30 percent of troops with depression and 54 percent with PTSD received appropriate care, said the report, entitled Quality of Care for PTSD and Depression in the Military Health System.
Some 2.6 million U.S. troops were sent to combat zones in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2014. The report estimates that at least four percent and up to one-fifth of them have been affected by post-traumatic stress.
The rate of suicide in U.S. troops doubled between 2005 and 2012 and stabilized afterwards but not diminished, according to a USA Today report quoting the Pentagon. The rate now remains about 20 per 100 Cheap Vitolo Jersey ,000 people.
""We want to ensure that they get connected with behavioral health care,"" said Kimberly Hepner, the report's lead author and a senior behavioral scientist at RAND, a non-partisan, non-profit research organization.
""The most immediate action - removal of firearms - can help reduce risk of suicide attempts Cheap Vicente Iborra Jersey ,"" said Hepner. Pentagon data shows that guns accounted for 68 percent of suicides by active-duty troops in 2014.
Moreover, one third of troops with PTSD were prescribed with benzodiazepine, an anti-anxiety medication which is thought harmful to their condition.
""The report findings and recommendations are being reviewed and will be used to shape our future direction to ensure we are improving patient care,"" Pentagon spokeswoman Laura Ochoa said.
The report, commissioned by the Pentagon and conducted by the Rand Corp. Cheap Timothee Kolodziejczak Jersey , has reviewed the cases of 39,000 troops diagnosed with depression, PTSD or both conditions in 2013.

" Nothing can compare to exploring the great outdoors in your own four wheel
drive (4WD) vehicle. Every weekend, thousands of people across the country get
into their 4WD's and enjoy the freedom of the path less travelled.
While
it is great fun, there is also a serious side to 4WD adventures. There are many
pitfalls for the inexperienced off roader and in the vast Australian outback a
problem at the wrong moment is not just inconvenient – it could be
disastrous!
Below are a few very basic things that you need to
do Cheap
Steven N'Zonzi Jersey , before you consider setting off on your own
adventure. To neglect the correct preparations may put your life at
risk.
Recovery Equipment
Recovery equipment should be central to
any off road drivers' equipment. There are a number of items that fall under
this category and you may need all of them, or just some, depending on where you
intend to go.
The first piece of gear to have is a jack, so you can lift
up your vehicle. This can be to change a tire, or to help you move it out of a
sticky situation. Most vehicles come pre-equipped with a jack Cheap Sergio
Rico Jersey , but you may wish to upgrade. It is crucial that you
check that your jack is functional before you leave.
You should also
always have a recovery strap or 'snatch' strap. These are highly versatile auto
straps which you can use to pull yourself, or someone else, out of trouble if
they become stuck. Small tears can compromise the integrity of these straps, so
always check for any visible damage before you depart.
First
Aid
This section isn't necessarily vehicle related, but just as
important. Because you will be driving in remote areas Cheap
Sergio Escudero Jersey , you must have the ability to look after
yourself and your passengers in the event of an accident. What can be a very
minor medical problem can quickly become serious when you are hours away from
professional care.
Spare Parts
Unfortunately, even vehicles
designed for rough conditions break down on occasion. Because you will be in
remote areas, you need to be able to fix basic things for yourself. This means
that you should know what parts commonly break on off road vehicles and have
those items on hand when for when you need them. It's no good if you are out in
the bush and your spare parts are back in your garage!
Full Mechanical
Service
It may sound obvious, but many people neglect even this basic
precaution. If you are planning a trip, be it big or small Cheap
Sebastian Cristoforo Jersey , you need to be confident that your
vehicle is up to the task. Dirt roads and tracks are hard on machinery and your
4WD needs to be in top condition to handle it.
If you don't have your
off road vehicle checked for mechanical faults before departing, you risk having
a serious problem in the middle of nowhere when you need it the
least!
Expert Knowledge
If you are just a beginner, or even if you
are a pro going to an unfamiliar area, it can be worth getting some expert
knowledge. In your local area there is sure to be an off road equipment shop.
The staff at these stores are very knowledgeable and always happy to help.
