Mark: Veteran of Northern Ireland

“I have witnessed a lot of violence in my life. I grew up in Northern Ireland through the Troubles — and I am a Veteran of the Northern Ireland conflict. I have probably had issues with my mental health all my life without realising it.”

“For 15 years I have been steadily getting worse. I would get tablets from the doctor without any further help. I would wean myself off the tablets once I started to feel better — but this only worked a few times. This time around, I ended up in bed for almost two months not wanting to deal with life. I contacted the doctor — who once again put me on tablets.”

“I heard about PTSD Resolution on YouTube, from another Veteran. I reached out to them and I have just finished my six weeks of therapy.”

“The hardest thing to do is to ask for help — but I have found PTSD Resolution to be brilliant from my first contact until my last session. My therapist has a very similar background to myself and has taught me many coping techniques to deal with my PTSD and depression.”

“Just knowing that I was going to have a therapy session helped motivate me to get up and move and want to get better.”

“I am now back to work and have started to look after myself both mentally and physically. I have a better outlook on life than I’ve had for many years. I also have the confidence and knowledge to help myself — if I ever feel that I am falling into that hole of depression again.”
