The figures from the 2011 report are particularly striking to me in light of the conditions associated with increased risk of suicide which preclude an individual from military service in the U.S. See here for the conditions listed under the headings of Disorders with psychotic features; Neurotic, anxiety, mood, somatoform, dissociative, or factitious disorders; and Personality, conduct, and behavior disorders, amongst others.
