Paul Roe was diagnosed with PTSD after a career in the police force with Cambridgeshire Police and the British Transport Police.

He was assaulted while working on New Year鈥檚 Eve in 1998 and attended four major train collisions.

"They're quite defining moments when you go to something like that and there's a train upside down", he said.

"It's afterwards when you start to slow down, the adrenaline stops, then you realise what you've seen, what you've done.鈥�

After retirement, Paul now dedicates his life to talking frankly about his PTSD and encouraging others to do the same.

"One of the things with PTSD is the inability to process the trauma.

"If I can stand up and put my hand up and say that I need help then anybody can.

"It is ok, not to be ok", Paul finished.
