I'm an intern in a navy hospital. The most common, daily, reason for psychiatric admission of an active duty member (we see all services) is suicidal ideation or attempt. I'm not counting the malingerers. I'm counting people who have been through multiple psych interviews and psychiatrists who see suicide day in and day out agree this patient merits 24-hour observation. That's one hospital. There are dozens of military hospitals. I wouldn't be surprised if the US military has 24 new suicidal admits a day.
