A Battle with PTSD

In today's 5 Minutes we hear from Simon Gillard who was an NSW Police Officer for 16 years before being invalided out of the force with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  He attained the rank of Detective Sergeant investigating major crimes throughout Sydney.

Simon systemically formed Depression and identity crisis, losing the career he loved, and, saw as his life-long profession. Having had a number of suicide attempts when loneliness, worthlessness, and hopelessness took complete hold.

In 2015, Simon found his meaning, passion, and purpose again which allowed him to move forward and keep living. Through resilience, hope, and recovery Simon started a new life journey, to help others.
