HMS Sheffield survivor took over 30 years to get help for PTSD after Falklands War
A Falklands veteran from Paulsgrove near Portsmouth has told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent it took him more than 30 years to seek help for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Guy Wilson known as Tug, is an HMS Sheffield survivor - he's now the ship's standard bearer.
On 10th May 1982, the Pompey-based destroyer finally floundered while under tow from HMS Yarmouth.
Six days after she'd been hit by an Argentinian missile resulting in the loss of twenty crew.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporter Laurence Herdman went to meet Tug, who explained how he had been in denial for several decades despite living with symptoms commonly associated with PTSD.
