BACKGROUND Most accounts of deployment mental health in UK armed forces personnel rely on retrospective assessments. AIMS We present data relating to the burden of mental ill health and the effect of support measures including operational, family, welfare and medical support obtained on two occasions some 18 months apart. METHOD A total of 2794 personnel completed a survey while deployed to Afghanistan; 1363 in 2011 and 1431 in 2010. Their responses were compared and contrasted. RESULTS…

Leadership, Cohesion, Morale, and the Mental Health of UK Armed Forces in Afghanistan
TLDR
Greater levels of unit cohesion, morale, and good leadership may help to modulate the effects of combat exposure and the subsequent development of mental health problems among UK Armed Forces personnel deployed to Afghanistan.
Combat Experience and Mental Health in the Israel National Health Survey.
TLDR
It is shown that combat exposure, as such, has limited contribution to lifetime PTSD in some groups of veterans, and the inverse relationship between combat exposure and PTSD might be explained by the selection of potential combatants among all recruits and the heightened preparedness to military life stressors.
British military women: combat exposure, deployment and mental health.
TLDR
Although women experienced more CMD symptoms, PTSD symptoms were similar by gender and women may not require enhanced mental healthcare during deployment for exposure-based conditions such as PTSD when undertaking the ground close combat role.
The mental health of deployed UK maritime forces
TLDR
CMD and PTSD were more frequently reported in the maritime environment than during recent land-based deployments, and rates of potentially harmful alcohol use have reduced but remain higher than the wider military.
Longitudinal determinants of mental health treatment-seeking by US soldiers
TLDR
Results demonstrate the importance of broadening the conceptualisation of barriers and facilitators of mental healthcare beyond stigma and suggest techniques and delivery models emphasising self-care may help increase soldiers' interest in using mental health services.
Prevalence of, Risk Factors for, and Consequences of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Other Mental Health Problems in Military Populations Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan
This review summarizes the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related mental health problems among persons who served in the armed forces during the Iraq and Afghanistan…
Stigmatisation, perceived barriers to care, help seeking and the mental health of British Military personnel
TLDR
The results suggest that willing volunteers who have recovered from a mental-ill-health episode may be well placed to assist in the delivery of public health stigma-reduction strategies which aim to promote engagement with mental health services should be focused towards people who are experiencing worsening mental health.
Prevalence of PTSD and other mental disorders in UK service personnel by time since end of deployment: a meta-analysis
TLDR
There was no evidence that the prevalence of PTSD and alcohol misuse changed according to time since the end of deployment over a three-year period, but there was evidence for an association with increasing psychological distress.
Experiences and career intentions of combat-deployed UK military personnel.
TLDR
It is shown that deployment can be a positive experience for a substantial majority of deployed personnel and less positive deployment experiences, poorer mental health, lesser unit cohesion and more negative impressions of leadership were significantly associated with intention to leave service.
Potentially modifiable risk factors for mental health problems in deployed UK maritime forces
TLDR
A cross-sectional survey of MHPs among Royal Navy personnel deployed at sea found that 41.2% had common mental disorder symptoms, 7.8% probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and 17.4% potentially harmful alcohol use, strikingly higher than those in deployed UK land-based forces.

Effects of home on the mental health of British forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan
TLDR
Poor perceived military support for the family had a detrimental impact on deployment mental health and ensuring that the efforts being made on their behalf are well communicated might improve the mental health of deployed personnel.
Mental health of UK military personnel while on deployment in Iraq
TLDR
In an established operational theatre the prevalence of common psychopathology was similar to rates found in non-deployed military samples, however, there remains scope for further improving in-theatre support mechanisms, raising awareness of the link between reporting sick and mental health and ensuring implementation of current policy to deliver pre-de deployment stress briefs.

TLDR

Combat duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, mental health problems and barriers to care.
TLDR
The findings indicate that among the study groups there was a significant risk of mental health problems and that the subjects reported important barriers to receiving mental health services, particularly the perception of stigma among those most in need of such care.
The stigma of mental health problems and other barriers to care in the UK Armed Forces
TLDR
Despite recent efforts to de-stigmatise mental disorders in the military, anticipated stigma and practical barriers to consulting stand in the way of access to care for some Service personnel.
Impact of exposure to combat during deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan on mental health by gender
TLDR
The current findings suggest that, although gender differences in mental health exist, the impact of deployment on mental health is similar among men and women.
Is previous psychological health associated with the likelihood of Iraq War deployment? An investigation of the "healthy warrior effect".
TLDR
A small "healthy warrior effect" is demonstrated; persons with better psychological health had a higher chance of being deployed, even after adjustment for predeployment medical fitness.
