"Afghanistan Veterans More Likely To Have PTSD Than Iraq Vets"

New figures show that British troops who served in Afghanistan are almost seven times more likely to have post-traumatic stress disorder than those who served in Iraq.
 
The Ministry of Defence statistics show that the number of those actually seeking help remains unchanged, however.
 
The figures come from the newly-published UK Armed Forces Mental Health report – which looks at trends from 2007 to 2015.
