How Many Veterans Have PTSD?

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the prevalence of combat related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder among Veterans depends on which conflict a service member was involved with.

About 11 to 20 out of every 100 veterans (or between 11% and 20%) who served in operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD each year.

About 12 out of every 100 Gulf War Veterans (or 12%) have PTSD each year.

About 15 out of every 100 Vietnam veterans (15%) were currently diagnosed with PTSD when the most recent study of them (the National Vietnam Veteran Readjustment Study) was conducted in the late 1980s. It’s believed that 30% of Vietnam veterans have had PTSD in their lifetime.

How Many Veterans Have PTSD MST?

Sadly, another common cause of non-combat PTSD in the military is referred to as PTSD MST, which stands for Military Sexual Trauma (MST).

This is any form of sexual harassment or sexual assault that occurs on active duty.
MST can happen to both men and women and can occur during peacetime, training, or war.
Among veterans who use VA health care, it is reported that:

23 out of 100 women (or 23%) reported sexual assault when in the military.

55 out of 100 women (or 55%) and 38 out of 100 men (or 38%) have experienced sexual harassment when in the military.

There are many more male veterans than there are female veterans.

However, even though military sexual trauma is more common in women Veterans, over half of all veterans with military sexual trauma are men.

What is the average VA disability rating for PTSD?

According to the VBA’s statistics reported to congress, PTSD was the #3 most commonly claimed VA disability, with 1,753,091 veterans (of 4,743,108) receiving VA compensation having a service-connected PTSD VA rating at 0 percent or higher.
