Prolonged deployments can cause mental problems, research suggests
Nearly 4,000 new cases of mental health disorder were diagnosed among armed services personnel last year, according to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

They also showed that personnel sent to Afghanistan or Iraq were more likely to suffer post traumatic stress disorder.
