veteran suicide

With support from both sides in Congress, advocates are still fighting to get the psychedelic drug approved as a mental health treatment, despite its rejection by the FDA's advisory committee in June.

Former Army Sgt. John Toombs was thrown out of the residential drug treatment program at a Veterans Affairs center and then killed himself.

Female veterans have higher rates of depression and suicide than their male counterparts. Advocates say the VA must step up its efforts to reach women who need help and may not be seeking it.
