OBJECTIVES: Depressive and anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders and are very common among individuals with a history of military service. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of depression among respondents with a history of military service, and examine if self-reported lifetime depression diagnosis in veterans differs by the major conflicts/war they served in, using the 2012 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
