The Veteran Suicide Crisis Nobody Talks About

About this video

A short teaser for Brecka’s episode with Marcus and Amber Capone about veteran suicide. Amber describes Marcus struggling after leaving military service and feeling that conventional medicine had run out of options for him. The guests cite figures they say show far more service members have died by suicide than in combat, question how far coping-focused treatment and antidepressants go for everyone, and begin listing warning signs they wish they had recognised in hindsight.

Key takeaways

• The Capones claim more service members have died by suicide than in combat, a statistic they describe as staggering
• Amber Capone says Marcus struggled badly in the transition to civilian life and that she felt conventional medicine had no more options for them
• Marcus Capone argues much of modern treatment offers coping mechanisms rather than resolution, and questions what is offered to people antidepressants do not help
• The clip teases a discussion of red flags that someone may need help
