Army asks "why don't more soldiers seek treatment for PTSD?"

From a recent U.S. Army report:

• Less than half of soldiers who report symptoms of PTSD receive the care they need, according to the U.S. Army.
• Of those that do start treatment, 20-50% drop out.
• Soldiers display a lack of trust of mental health professionals.
• They think psychological problems will "work themselves out"
• They think treatment should only be a last resort.
