Ross Kemp on ‘particularly bad’ battle with PTSD after filming in Afghanistan: ‘I was drinking way too much’

Essex-born actor and TV presenter Ross Kemp has made more than 135 documentaries, including many in some of the most dangerous places on Earth.

He filmed in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008, for example, following troops deployed there by the UK government.

Two years later, he had PTSD, for which he self-medicated. He was drinking too much, and it took a toll on his social life.
