There are no doubts one of the essential factors for the development of a country is stable
security system. Numerous departments and agencies are involved in the security of a country;
however, the military tends to play a critical role since it only protects a country’s border but also
ensures other nations honor any agreement or commitment between the two nations (Zelizer,
2015). As a result, the military personnel tend to experience various challenges, which include
relocation, deployments, separation, limited social support, and work stress (Pianin, 2015).
Despite the veterans considered as warriors of a country the above challenges tend to have
adverse impact on their mind and body hence posing a great risk to their health. Among the
various health risk encountered by the veterans, mental illness is the most common. Mental
health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of a person (Legg, 2018).
