The Ohio Senate Resolution Number 21 urges the U.S. Congress to provide prompt and comprehensive mental health treatment for military personnel and veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other service-related stress disorders. It highlights the alarming rates of mental health issues among returning troops, particularly the high incidence of suicide among veterans compared to combat fatalities. The resolution emphasizes the need for qualified medical professionals to oversee mental health treatment and calls for the implementation of recommendations from the U.S. Government Accountability Office to ensure that PTSD and traumatic brain injuries are adequately considered in the military separation process.

Additionally, the resolution advocates for the correction of military records for those discharged due to mental health issues, ensuring they receive a more honorable discharge. It asserts that post-military civilian income should not affect eligibility for healthcare benefits. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to key government officials and the media, reinforcing the commitment to support the mental health needs of military personnel and veterans.
