40 - Philip Ingram MBE - How I almost took my own life, stress induced depression, failures by the MOD to look after veterans, our over reliance on charities and the action Philip is taking to remedy this.

​Philip Ingram MBE, talks openly about his stress induced depression. The loss of men close to him in Iraq, the grueling emotional burden of intelligence reviews into attacks and the feeling of personal responsibility.  Added to this, the troubles he was experiencing back home with his then wife who not only cleared out their house when he was on tour but when he was back home actually took his children abroad for 14 months without asking him or telling him where they were going. All this compounded and resulted in Philips stress induced depression and the uncovering of his PTSD.

It's is an incredible story and well worth watching through to the end. Not only for the very interesting anecdotes but for the exciting developments in the MOD and the talks Philip has been having with Lieutenant General Richard Nugee Chief of Defense People.
