British troops suffer mental health problem in Iraq: report

LONDON, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of British troops have experienced serious mental health problems following service in Iraq, British newspapers reported on Sunday.

A major government study will reveal this week how depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder among service personnel in Iraq has increased dramatically since the war was declared in March 2003, said The Observer, according to the most authoritative study ever undertaken into the psychological impact of war on British soldiers.

The research was carried out by a specialist unit at King's College London, and was funded by the Ministry of Defense (MoD).
