easier, women veterans’ accomplishments do not end when their service does. Commander Carmen Fisher talks about her life in the Navy and how she worked through her anxiety about re-entering civilian life after being discharged.
Cmdr. Carmen Fisher is a nurse officer with the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and a veteran of the U.S. Navy. She is currently stationed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a consumer safety officer and serves on USPHS’s Rapid Deployment Force 5.The Navy was an incredible service to belong to.

What kinds of mental health challenges did you face when you were deployed, and how did you manage them? Deployments can be extremely tough on military members, and I was no exception. I was young and hadn’t ever been in active combat settings, so I dealt with some anxiety. Along with many members of my unit, I also dealt with some post-deployment depression. I reached out to my unit’s therapist and my fellow sailors and senior officers both during and after the deployments for help. Post-deployment debriefings also helped.I was extremely excited and scared at the same time.
