As the number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan continues to grow, one of the often hidden consequences of military service is the psychological effects on those who served. For many who leave the army, their experiences can have a devastating impact on their mental health and family relationships. Many of these problems can take years to surface and many find it difficult to admit them to others, including to those who could help them. How widespread are these problems and how can they be dealt with by the support organisations? We want to hear your views.
