Public safety personnel were found to have a higher rate of psychological health problems. One in every seven police officers worldwide suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, and one in every ten struggled from other mental illnesses. When compared to the general population, police personnel have approximately twice the prevalence of PTSD and depression (20% vs 7% to 9%), and are associated with a lower quality of life.
