Combat Stress is a registered charity in the United Kingdom. offering residential and community treatment to former members of the British Armed Forces suffering from a range of mental health conditions including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Combat Stress provides treatment for all Veterans suffering with mental ill-health, free of charge. On average it takes 13 years for a Veteran to come to Combat Stress for treatment, however for those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan the time period is much lower.
The charity was formed in 1919, as the Ex-Services Mental Welfare Society, following the First World War when the effects of shell shock were becoming known.
The soldiers returning home from First World War suffered greatly from the horrors they had witnessed. Many returning veterans suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, called shell shock at the time.
In 1915 The British Army in France was instructed that:
Combat or fighting is a purposeful violent conflict meant to weaken, establish dominance over, or kill the opposition, or to drive the opposition away from a location where it is not wanted or needed.
The term combat (French for fight) typically refers to armed conflict between opposing military forces in warfare, whereas the more general term "fighting" can refer to any physical or verbal conflict between individuals or nations. Combat violence can be unilateral, whereas fighting implies at least a defensive reaction. A large-scale fight is known as a battle. A verbal fight is commonly known as an argument.
Combat may take place under a specific set of rules or be unregulated. Examples of rules include the Geneva Conventions (covering the treatment of people in war), medieval chivalry, the Marquess of Queensberry rules (covering boxing) and several forms of combat sports.
Combat in warfare involves two or more opposing military organizations, usually fighting for nations at war (although guerrilla warfare and suppression of insurgencies can fall outside this definition). Warfare falls under the laws of war, which govern its purposes and conduct, and protect the rights of combatants and non-combatants.
Stress may refer to:
An enemy or foe is an individual or group that is seen as forcefully adverse or threatening.
Enemy, Enemies or The Enemy may refer to:
(Chronological)
The Enemy Within may refer to:
We know that soldiers today suffer from the mental stresses of combat, but did those of the ancient world do too? Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige The mental symptoms suffered by soldiers who have been in war include depression, insomnia, nightmares, flashbacks, substance abuse, being constantly hyper-alert, and emotional numbness. Most soldiers do not suffer greatly, and about two thirds of those who do suffer a lot recover after a while. We know that modern warfare has this effect on soldiers, but did the stresses of ancient or medieval warfare cause similar symptoms? Here, I argue that there are significant differences between ancient and modern warfare, and that perhaps the mental effects of combat in the ancient world were lesser than those experienced tod...
I've left out the word Disorder, because to me it's perfectly normal after intense combat stress to have the complainds these man have. PTSD is not a "mental illness" but simply a normal reaction to an abnormal event, or circumstances (combat/war) and that drugging our troops is not the solution. Prolonged exposure to a perilous and uncertain combat environment might make trauma common. There is no cure for it, it just needs time and individual help, pills only make it worse, if the war did not kill you those drugs will.
Combat Stress is the leading charity specialising in the care of British Veterans who have been profoundly traumatised by harrowing experiences during their Service career. On the 11th March 2010 HRH The Prince of Wales launched our The Enemy Within Appeal. Combat Stress has had a 66% increase in the demand for services since 2005. And still, on average Veterans wait 14 years before seeking help. So we need to: #Raise £30 million to enhance and develop our services to Veterans. #Raise awareness of the plight of Veterans suffering from psychological injury. #Encourage Veterans and their families to seek our help earlier. Through The Enemy Within Appeal, we will deliver the right care, in the right place at the right time. To find out more about the work we do, or if you think you migh...
Veteran Tom Stimpson served in the RAF for 26 years, and was awarded the MBE in 1999 while working with NATO. But after deployment in Afghanistan, he became ill and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. He’s had treatment at the Combat Stress's Tyrwhitt House in Surrey – one of the charity’s three residential treatment centres.

Programme website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03sk1hg Actor Sir Patrick Stewart presents an appeal on behalf of Combat Stress, the leading charity for military veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other psychological conditions. Patrick's father suffered from PTSD -- then known as shell shock - after serving in the Second World War, and he and his family had to live with its devastating consequences. The film also features first-hand testimony from James, who suffered severe PTSD once he returned from the first Gulf War. At the height of his illness he lost his job, family and home, and developed major problems with drug and alcohol abuse. He describes how Combat Stress helped him piece his life back together.

Rapid resolution of the active PTSD reaction using the combination of Frequency Specific microcurrent protocols (3 'tens' units) and MASERS, military grade, bilateral 28 point meridian tapping by a nurse practicianer who was teaching 'Doc' the field corpsman in the trauma clinic in less than one hour. This is a tactical training for medics, combat corpsmen, RNs, JPs, PAs, PTs, RNPs, special forces medics, active duty national guard, USN Seals and EMTs to treat active PTSD when returning from combat and rapid rescue recovery from flashback PTSD at the FOB or clinic. The goal is to evaporate the cellular lesion of PTSD by the tapping hands of the highly trained military professionals who are the ones who work most closely with combat stress. No drugs are required for results. ...
