The daughter of a very close friend of mine is in the process of being medically discharged due to Mental Health issues. Her husband is also going through similar. They both worked in the medical field (he was RN, she RAF) and both suffered PTSD as a result of numerous tours in the sand at the height of operations. 2 others in their peer group have taken their own lives.
The treatment they have had is nothing short of disgusting. No continuity, little specialist input and disgusting admin support.
This is a very dark underbelly of service life. I hope it is exposed and some heads roll.
