Top 3 Causes of Sheep Dog Suicide

Post Traumatic Stress (PTS)

Military personnel, veterans, and first responders suffering with PTS-related symptoms and depression are often self-isolated or medicated to dull symptoms.

Suicide Statistic:  The Veteran suicide rate is 51% higher than the national average.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

People suffering with TBI may not even understand that their symptoms — such as difficulty concentrating, anger, anxiety, fatigue, depression or light/sound sensitivity — are due to a physical injury, not inevitable reactions to their battlefield experiences.

Suicide Statistic: The Veteran suicide rate is 51% higher than the national average.

Addiction

More than 1 in 5 veterans with PTS suffer from the burden of co-occurring dependence on drugs or alcohol. And over 70% of veterans who die by suicide are either drunk or high at the time of their death.
