'I’ve had at least ten therapists but I’m still far, far away from the type of person I feel I have the potential to be'


Former Lieutenant Colonel Martin Wade has suffered from complex PTSD since serving in Afghanistan from 2006-2007. He told Martha Kearney that his condition makes life “a daily struggle” and he “jumps at the slightest sound.” Martin is an ambassador for Supporting Wounded Veterans, which is raising funds for a UK clinical trial of MDMA assisted therapy for PTSD. The charity needs to raise a further £725,000 for the trial to go ahead, following a successful trial in America. Martha also heard from Professor Allan Young of Kings College London, who will lead the trial if funding is secured. He says there is a “great unmet need” for effective treatment for severe PTSD.
