I was happy to see a story on the military considering dropping questions about previous mental health treatment when assigning security clearances. The problem with the questions was that they prevented people from seeking treatment because those in need may have some additional career barriers in the military later on if they sought help. This would be a fantastic change that is a step in the right direction in improving mental health in the military.
