soilders more likely to commit suicide than die in combat. it goes on to say many do not seek out treatment for PTSD and other illness.
as an aside MDMA is the best treatment for PTSD 'strangely' this is very little known or used. many complimentary therapists also recognize EFT as a great therapy for dealing with trauma, but big pharma and NHS will dish out the fluoxetine (prozac) and tranquilisers instead.
Research suggests that veterans aged 18 to 23 are up to three times more likely to commit suicide than their civilian counterparts. Setting out plans today to boost mental health care for returning troops, Mr Fox and Mr Cameron will argue that more veterans of the Falklands campaign and the first Gulf War killed themselves after quitting the forces than died in action.
An estimated 264 Falklands veterans have committed suicide since the conflict ended, compared with 255 soldiers killed in action, according to an ex-servicemen's organisation.
Twenty-four British soldiers died during the 1991 Gulf War, but the Ministry of Defence disclosed last year that 169 veterans of the conflict had died from "intentional self-harm" or in circumstances that led to open verdicts at inquests.
