There should be no excuse for doctors and medical staff in the military and professional and college and high school sports that they remain “alter-ignorant” about how to properly diagnose and heal brain wounds. Concussion and CTE are hardly back-water areas of medicine. And the science and peer-reviewed research continues to pile up that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy allows for the remission if not complete healing from brain wounds of all kinds.

The Military Times released a Report on 2023 suicide statistics released by the Pentagon. It states: “Military researchers recorded 523 suicides in 2023, the highest total since 2020. The number of active-duty troops was 363, up from 331 a year earlier. . . .The Marine Corps had the highest rate of suicide, with about 35 cases per 100,000 people in 2023. The Army was just under 33 cases per 100,000. . . . The Air Force (about 21 per 100,000) and Navy (about 19 per 100,000) saw lower rates. But all four services have seen a steady increase since 2011, when the Department began formally tracking the issue. ”
According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, “the Active-duty component saw a 12 percent increase from 331 deaths by suicide in 2022 to 363 in 2023.”
