Veterans' mental health (CPD eLearning)

This podcast covers common mental health issues that may arise when service personnel leave the military and become veterans.

We examine the transition period, looking at the risk factors associated with this and the support systems available. Mental health provisions for veterans can seem like a confusing topic to NHS psychiatrists. However, it is likely that, in clinical practice, all psychiatrists will come into contact with this cohort of patients and it is important for psychiatrists to have a sense of understanding.

This podcast will aim to review some commonly held misconceptions about veterans’ mental health and discuss further the support available when service personnel leave the military.
