HMS Sheffield survivor took over 30 years to get help for PTSD after Falklands War
A Falklands veteran from Paulsgrove near Portsmouth has told Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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.
