Veterans Mental Health

Dr Chetna Kang and Toby Friedner focus on veterans mental health.

People who served in the armed forces have unique risks to their mental health. While most do not have any mental illness, a significant minority do.

The veterans mental health charity Combat Stress is currently treating five and a half thousand veterans for mental illness.

Today we'll hear from veterans about their experience of mental illness and from the people trying to help them.
