Mental health is fundamental to overall health and well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences thinking, feeling, behavior, and how one copes with stress, relates to others, and makes decisions throughout life.

We always hear about how 22 veterans a day take their lives, but no one has been able to nail down the exact reasons or the path chosen for suicide to be an option. The reasons vary, the circumstances vary. As a Retired Non-Commissioned Officer of the U.S. Air Force, I can tell you firsthand how I lost my identity, and furthermore, knew it would happen. My talk will address how the military community, retired and currently serving, face an identity crisis as we exit our careers. Sean Douglas is a U.S. Air Force Veteran Retired, John Maxwell Speaker, TEDx Speaker, Top 3% Podcaster, Bestselling Author, and a Business Positioning Strategist. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
