Transgender veterans have high rates of mental health problems
Among military veterans identifying as transgender, 90 percent have at least one mental health diagnosis, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, and nearly 50 percent had a hospitalization after a suicide attempt or suicidal thoughts. Ref. Source 8s.
Going through the process of being transgender is of itself a big psychological process. Add to that past military experience, possibly abuse or PTSD and its a bomb of mental issues so this study's results are hardly surprising.
