As a reservist, life can be challenging in the military and civilian worlds. Balancing both can take its toll on anyone's mental health, especially when not addressed.
In this case study, a male reservist in his 30s from England sought help from Combat Stress after realizing he needed it.
The client had been feeling low, angry, and had turned to drinking to cope with his problems, leading him to get into trouble with the police and being locked up. After a conversation about his feelings, Combat Stress signposted him to Op Courage for assessment while still being able to use the Combat Stress Helpline for support.
When we think of mental health issues in veterans, we often focus on those who have seen combat. Still, this case study highlights that even those who have not seen combat can still face significant challenges that can impact their mental health. It is essential to recognize when one's mental health is suffering and seek help from organizations like Combat Stress, who can provide the necessary support and signpost to appropriate services.
It's not easy to ask for help, but it's essential for one's well-being. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, don't hesitate to reach out for help. There are many organizations and services out there that can help. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
