Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:
PTSD is associated with impairments in everyday attention and memory
PTSD is associated with enhanced acquisition of conditioned fears

(Wilson Friedman & Lindy, 2004, p. 237)
Priory Survey of 1,000 men:

40% said that they would only seek help if it got as bad as thoughts of suicide
(Priory Group, Survey: 2004)
I don’t think we are doing enough for our veterans. Their care should be a government priority, and it should not be left to charities like Help For Heroes to subsidise the cost.
