CLEARWATER, Fla. - OhioPen -- On Saturday, April 26th, an event designed to increase veteran advocacy will be held at the headquarters for CCHR Florida located in downtown Clearwater.
"Veterans can have special needs due to unique experiences and exposure to traumatic events," states Diane Stein, president of CCHR in Florida. "Many of them also face an uncertain return to civilian life. This sometimes leads to drug abuse, pain or loneliness after discharge from the military. It is estimated that one in ten veterans suffers from some sort of substance abuse which is higher than the general public."
According to an article published by the USO, "in 2021, research found that 30,177 active-duty personnel and veterans who served in the military after 9/11 have died by suicide - compared to the 7,057 service members killed in combat in those same 20 years."
How could it be that more than four times more veterans and soldiers have killed themselves, than soldiers that were killed in action? Is there a hidden influence that could have contributed to this terrible reality?

"Psychiatric treatment is the hidden influence," says Stein. "For years psychiatrists have been infiltrating the military with their various diagnoses and psychotropic drugs."
While a direct correlation cannot be made to account for all the suicides, it can be said that the "normal treatment" using psychiatric drugs has not helped the veterans and soldiers who are suffering.
In addition to being an excellent opportunity to network and unite with fellow veteran advocates in the community, the event hopes to better educate veteran advocates on the dangers of the psychiatric drugs prescribed.
"The men and women who serve our country deserve the best of care and the most accurate information available. CCHR is here to help educate veterans about the unseen dangers of prescription drugs for PTSD and suicide prevention," states Susan Devlin, CCHR FL, Community Education Director. "There are other options and people who want to help, many are vets themselves. And we are here to facilitate that help."
