Mental health symptoms common at Pentagon after 9/11

P> The researchers acknowledge that the number of personnel reporting signs of mental distress may be slightly higher than expected, since those in distress may have been more likely to fill out the screening survey.

People at high risk for mental health problems were also more likely to seek counseling from a mental health professional or chaplain after the attack, the researchers found. Not all high-risk individuals sought out help, however, suggesting further outreach is needed, according to Jordan.

"Stigma and other barriers to receiving treatment are widespread, and it is likely there are higher levels of concern about potential career consequences of mental health treatment among military or senior Department of Defense personnel than among civilian working populations," she says.

The survey included a newly designed mental health screening tool produced in part by coauthor Dr. Charles Hoge of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
