In this interview, General Patrick instructed all British soldiers who took part in the Iraq war to consult a psychiatrist and seek treatment. The statement by Sir Patrick comes at a time when the suicide rate among British soldiers is rising sharply and has more than doubled in the last 10 years. General Patrick Sanders said: "In 2007, 47 British troops were killed and 202 seriously injured in Iraq. I was very depressed about this situation. I felt like I had changed since I came to Iraq and become a different person. During this time there were many occasions when I thought about suicide. Even after returning from Iraq, these thoughts kept coming to my mind for a while. ”
