Depression and the military


Depression rates are greater in the military than in the general population, especially among family members. However, there is assistance available to lessen symptoms and enhance general wellbeing. It is a known fact that stigma within the military and among military families prevents some people from getting the assistance they need. If a military member seeks assistance for depression, they could be concerned about how their peers will see them or that they won’t be promoted.


"When I first came to Dr. Park, I was very reserved & I didn't know what to think, much less how this was all going to work out? Well, I've been with Dr. Park for close to 10 years now & I couldn't imagine where I would have been or be without him. He is without exception the best doctor I've ever had the privilege of seeing. Dr. Park not only listens, but he also understands, and he works with you to get through your problem. He doesn't condemn or judge you, not once has he ever belittled me, or any problem &/or situation I may have, he understands life & has a huge heart. I know he has truly made a great difference in my life, from my career to my family life, & more, he's shown, & given, me a great deal of guidance & clarity. I would absolutely 1000% recommend Dr. Park to anyone. Once you meet him it will be self-evident, I think he's truly one of a kind & I'm grateful..."
