Troop Depression on Rise in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (AP) --

U.S. troop morale improved in Iraq last year, but soldiers fighting in
Afghanistan suffered more depression as violence there worsened, an
Army mental health report says.

And in a recurring theme for a force strained by its seventh year at
war, the annual battlefield study found once again that soldiers on
their third and fourth tours of duty had sharply greater rates of
mental health problems than those on their first or second
deployments, according to several officials familiar with the report.
