The shocking death of Matthew Livelsberger at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas has shed light on the US military's ongoing battle to address mental health stigma and provide adequate support for soldiers struggling with invisible injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. As the Pentagon works to improve its screening and treatment methods, it's clear that more needs to be done to prioritize mental health awareness and reduce the stigma associated with seeking help. By promoting a culture of openness and understanding, the military can better support its personnel and prevent tragic incidents like this from happening in the future, focusing on mental health care and suicide prevention.
