PTSD: The Soldiers' Stories

During the past year some mental health charities for ex-service personnel have recorded a sharp rise in the numbers of veterans seeking their help for post-traumatic stress disorder.
 
The rise in cases, with most of those being treated having served in Iraq or Afghanistan, has been described as ‘very concerning’. 
 
Three former British soldiers, meanwhile, have told Forces TV about the devastating effects of PTSD on their lives and their battle to recover with the help of the London Veterans' Service.
