THE number of British soldiers leaving the army with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has reached its highest level in five years, new figures have revealed.
Last year, 139 soldiers left the army with PTSD, accounting for 11 per cent of all medical discharges.
The figures appear in a report published by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) last week.
