Dr. Neal Doran, who manages the suicide prevention team for the San Diego Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, said stress within the home and the loss of a work routine can be challenging for people living with mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder. "One big piece of it is not being able to get away from any disagreement (in the home)," he said. "There's no opportunity to step away and go do something else. Everybody's routine is disrupted."
