Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has affected the lives of many veterans.

It is estimated that rate of PTSD among UK veterans of all conflicts is 7.4%, according to a report published in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Chris Warburton, former soldier Amber said: 鈥淎s soon as I was discharged and in civilian street, I personally isolated for the first few years.鈥�

鈥淐ivilian street was very daunting to me, I had no sense of purpose when I first left.

鈥淲e can be misunderstood veterans and ex-military.鈥�
