The majority of military personnel do not experience mental health problems while they are in service, or subsequently in civilian life. However they face unique risks in service.

The mental health problems experienced by military personnel are the same as the general population, although certain experiences during service and the transition to civilian life mean that their mental health may be prompted by different factors.
Anger and depression, nightmares and substance abuse, family breakdown and even suicide are just some of the symptoms of military PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

One in four homeless people is a former member of the armed services. Over 20,000 veterans are in jail or on probation.

The transition to civilian life can be a challenging process for all Armed Forces leavers, and even more so for those medically retired due to poor health, injury, or disability.

Here at 4 Therapy UK in Manchester, we have helped both serving and ex-military personnel through the challenges triggered by traumatic events through CBT, Talking Therapies and General Counselling. We aim to help you find your way back to having a positive outlook on your future.

4 Therapy UK can help by breaking the link between the memory of the event and peoples emotional reaction, by engaging their inner abilities, helping to ease anxiety levels and reduce the distress caused when re-living a traumatic event.
