According to an analysis by Taiwanese military experts, submariners need to have very strong psychological health.

The study, published in the international journal Military Medicine on Jan. 7, found that among the 580 male participants, 21 percent of respondents were suffering from some degree of mental health issues, most often anxiety and paranoid ideation.
