A July report released by the Military Health System shows the leading cause for medical evacuations in 2017 was overwhelmingly due to mental illness.
The Medical Surveillance Monthly Report revealed that a total of 626 troops were medically evacuated in 2017, and 148 were because of mental illness, accounting for more evacuations than any other category.
The most common mental health issues were either depression or reaction to severe stress and adjustment troubles, according to the report.
Further, more men were evacuated for mental health issues than women, 119 versus 29, and more men, 535, were evacuated in general in 2017, compared to just 91 women.
