for military families with returning veterans.
Returning home doesn't always mean returning to a normal life for military service members who have spent months - or longer - under the stress of living and working in a combat zone.
Knowing what to expect and what to look for can help family members ease the transition back to life at home for veterans - and themselves.
Prevention and early intervention are keys to achieving and maintaining good mental health.

Suicide
Depression, increasing alcohol or drug use, dramatic mood changes and talk of death can be warning signs of a suicide attempt. It is important family members trust their instincts regarding a veteran in trouble.
Ask direct questions such as "Are you thinking about hurting yourself?" and determine if the person as a specific plan to carry out the suicide. Don't be judgmental. Don't swear to secrecy. Do not leave the person alone while you seek professional help.
