Maj kiharangwa wherever you are thank you, you chased me away back in 2010 pale lanet thanks a lot I was very bitter with you but life had a very different thing for me . Wenye mko service Mungu awe nanyi
I can relate my late dad was discharged from the military in mysterious circumstances and really suffered but he still remains my hero he fought PTSD without any treatment, turned his life around, started a business from scratch and even went ahead to become a church elder. God also heals he died of an accident but he was a changed man. I honor all soldiers and know what PTSD does
Thank you Dr King'ori for bringing this issue to light. Our heroes are suffering and there is no one else addressing the issues. Majority of the soldiers will tell you they are trained to fight the enemy, bury the dead but nothing to do with integration back to the society after wars. i just wish there can be a special psychiatric hospital for our men who serve this country with zeal and zest.
You can tell someone who has been through the absolute pits, just by their demeanor, their eyes, the non verbal cues, buana, this man has seen some shit. Bless the likes of Major Wairimu, and may John get a sense of normalcy and fruitful rest of his life, thank you for your service.
Dr kingori thanks for show after our Kdf officer and veterans and i just want to say i can attest to everything to they are sharing coz i was raised by a kdf father who is retired right now and i can tell we have been to hell and back especially my mom she has been through alot. And the government should do something about veterans coz it's sad seeing someone you love suffer yet even the pension fund yenye wanapewa is useless
KDF Should start a serious counselling hospital... To take care of our soldiers. It's wrong again to discharge soldiers who are suffering from PTSD. take care of our people 😡
God bless our kdf forces my brother was in the army and was very brutal at home and I now understand PTSD symptoms one being violent towards family members. Great show Dr kingori and let us continue educating the public and society and families on how to help the suffering veterans who gaurd our country jelously with their body mind and soul while we sleep at peace. We can form a charity organization to Help them cope with PTSD and family struggles. 📖🙋🙌🏽🛐🙏🏽🛐🛐🙋🙋
I just hope this conversation won't stop until it reaches the highest office in the Kenya. I pray for John and all retired soldier's not to give up and keep pressing on in his journey to recovery. Kudos to Major wairimu for being there for them.
Thank you for bringing this conversation. Growing up I remember my father who was in the military had anger management issues and we could never understand why. He was very harsh and it became worse as years went on. An year before his retirement his marriage of 30 years with my mum ended . Now we understand all his issues was ptsd. We all need to be sensitive about this
My heart goes out for our soldiers ,this sad just listening to this specified in trauma as therapist would like to real work with them,let's have compassion and offer compulsory counselling and mental assessment to our service men.They deserve normal lives and be happy as they serve the country.
Dr Kingori am a neighbour of Mr John Njoroge and currently ( I saw him today 20th Feb) ako ushago very desperate kindly if you can organise help akue psychologically helped.
My friend Omar Komora, who was a navy officer, immediately after leaving Somalia suffered PTSD in silencer, in a span of 90 days he run mad and until today, he is still a mad man kuokota na kubeba vitu vyake kwa gunia and roaming the streets in Utange Kiembeni area in Mombasa . Our soldiers are suffering.
Their is a bill set to be introduced in Parliament about veterans by Mr kimunya I hope it'll address such issues through proper ammendments because what I read on newspaper today will not be of much service to the army veterans
It's good someone just said something because I lived contemplating this issue cause I saw this people and what they went through after the mission. I thank God that it has been revealed because I thought nobody cared.
Ee Mungu nguvu yetu Ilete baraka kwetu Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi Natukae na udugu Amani na uhuru Raha tupate na ustawi. Amkeni ndugu zetu Tufanye sote bidii Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu Nchi yetu ya Kenya Tunayoipenda Tuwe tayari kuilinda Natujenge taifa letu Eeh, ndio wajibu wetu Kenya istahili heshima Tuungane mikono Pamoja kazini Kila siku tuwe na shukrani May we all pray for our children guarding our freedoms. May they find peace. May we all gather the courage to hold our gvt accountable and demand clean and progressive politics from them.
I also know of three KDF officers who have done three tours of Somalia and they are still serving the nation... Pole kwa huyu ndugu yetu na wengineo kwa yale wamepitia
Therapy should be mandatory for those in the army and police force. Many people don't come out to talk about their PTSD unless they're pushed to seek therapy and it's always too late when we realise they need the help. I feel like it should just be part of the job. It would help a lot from an early stage.
It's time that our country puts in pace a mechanism to evaluate and monitor our service men and women mental health. Thank you for bringing this to light
This is my first time to comment on a UA-cam video, and I must admit that the forces NEED a programme in place to support the integration of these service men and women, back to the society. This is like a pandemic.
You'd be extra ordinarily brave to date or marry a man of the forces. Any forces hata polisi. In the end they'll shoot you. Ni kama kufuga simba, njaa yake ya nyama haitawahipotea.
This Kenya is so so corrupt, when the big kids wants a position... they don't care what happens to people is none of their business.... you are still a hero to us,may God see you through tough times.
The Gvt should do something Manze. This is bad. How do you defend your country with your life and end up being just let go. Just like that. Like you did nothing. I might not be able to understand the depth but I believe things can be done to be changed. My prayers are with the Troups in he battle field and those out. My God bless our Troups and Change this Country's Gvt systems.
I wish my dad could come and tell he's story , he served for 35 years won several wars as a troop leader just to end up in upcountry with nothing ... he's a leged who deserved to be known
Absolute nonsense. KDF is about discipline. That so called Major should stop discrediting the KDF by parading drunkards who couldn't fit in the military and blaming it on PSTD. We have been in various missions and operations and we are still sober and normal. That Major seems to have a beef with KDF. She should first all tell us how she left the KDF.
God bless you bro for making these voices that have been silenced for long to be heard. I have been in their shoes before, though am from another service. Luckily, I have a very supportive family- especially my mom. Am still in service and the govt is trying to help members of the service with mental health in general. Where the govt is failing though, is how to prepare members of service to transform into civilian life. Very many veterans either take their lives or sometimes along with the lives of their loved ones once outside service because of how the govt fail to take care of them. The burden of their service is not proportional to the send off packages in place now- especially those that get discharged before their retirement and this hero is just an example. #ALL_GAVE_SOME_BUT_SOME_GAVE_ALL
It's a security risk to have such kind of men In the military. They need special care but you see even the most advanced militaries in the world have such cases from those who served for their country. What KDF should do is to ensure that treatment for PTSD is subsidized for these KDF Officers who've been discharged from duty because of one reason or another
War is an easy thing to talk about. As the title of Sebastian Bae’s piece says, "war is only romantic if you have never been in one. I have seen close friends killed, I have held young boys in my arms as they died. I have taken the lives of other human beings. I have known fear so intense as to drive good men insane."
I want to believe this will reached to our commander in chief Mr. Uhuru and the Interior minister Mr. Matiangi,alot need to be done on our Army this imply to our police service also you can see how they have been killing their loved one.
The government should do sth about our Veterans and deal with PTSD to a certain level. Also I am so proud of our military ❤️ after watching this. Yaani hawa wasee ni war machines. Their career imefanya Akili idefault vita kama reality yao. Eeh!
And when words mean nothing😢.......u can always tell it by the looks. ......... This man has seen real darkness. ........ He knows things we don't 😢 salute to all Veterans 🙏
They need support morally, spiritually and psychologically and financially because they live the things they have witnessed in war zones and affect them
It's so heartbreaking, I lost my husband coz of this, he went through so much after Somali just like Mwangi, he is now gone forever(passed away) and maybe he could have been helped
I have listened to Rtd Major Mukuria a lot, she has a good intention but a wrong approach. In all her interviews instead of telling us how to overcome stress. She parades ex KDF soldiers who had bad time in the military. We civilians also face mental health issues. We need her to tell us how to overcome stress rather than telling us what she used to do in the military
Can kdf benchmark with other world best militaries on how they treat their veterans,Americans,British French etc have had their soldiers in war theatres for long.

Thank you Major Mukuria for bringing this discussion to the mainstream

This is probably my best episode big up Kingori great content.
Kenya should acknowledge their military veterans
Their is a bill set to be introduced in Parliament about veterans by Mr kimunya I hope it'll address such issues through proper ammendments because what I read on newspaper today will not be of much service to the army veterans
My brother in law is very ruthless with everything and everyone ,he is a soldier too.
May be or just may be he is suffering too.
It's good someone just said something because I lived contemplating this issue cause I saw this people and what they went through after the mission. I thank God that it has been revealed because I thought nobody cared.
This is so sad...... this was a school mate of mine .. am glad he is getting counselling and he is recovering... 💕
Is a shame this time and age that the military can not have exit interview for their veterans. This miss using the soldiers.
NHS?
@@keithmbuthia yes
I Eagerly waited for this episode.. thank you our laughter doctor.
May the Lord heal him and help him adjust in the civilian world.
The way he was dismissed is very unfair, but there is hope.
This guy got depressed ,,he is my neighbour aki
A great deservice to these warriors by the government for not taking care of them after bravely serving the country.
This is a lot of information 💯, says alot about what really goes on with these resilient men

Can we also talk about the rate of suicide in the disciplined forces? The recent statistics are depressing.
I really pitty this guy, he deserves another chance. You and energetic. I can see he still not well recovered.

This is so touching man
The same thing happened to My dad in 2002 till now He has never recovereed from that tumor #exsoldierslifematter alot
This is a calling to our President something must be done and be done with immediate effect to our loveable Veterans.
It's even tough being the wife .. u can't even sleep😭 it's a tough world
I can't even imagine dealing with the PTSD on a daily basis as a spouse

I have a friend a former kdf and he is messed up. Right from somalia
Such an interesting story More Eps to come
What kind of country are we living in? This is a big shame to the KDF. I never knew things were this bad.
I thank God I never made it to KDF even after the numerous attempts...However I wish the officers well as they recover from PTSD.
Waah.. Story like mine ..... All is OK ... Bro kudoz never give up ..let your destiny difine u ...😢😢😢😢

Why Release Such Trained Soldiers To The Society Without A Plan? The Church Has A Role To Play Because They Are Our Own Brothers And Sisters

Woooiye! Such people need help 😭😭😭😭😭 God watch over our soldiers pls
Very important point to note.."they don't know how to spend life out here",they need counselling ....

I have listened to Rtd Major Mukuria a lot, she has a good intention but a wrong approach. In all her interviews instead of telling us how to overcome stress. She parades ex KDF soldiers who had bad time in the military. We civilians also face mental health issues. We need her to tell us how to overcome stress rather than telling us what she used to do in the military
She has experience in her field so she works with ex soldiers.
Kindly look for other therapists who offer the same services to civilians.
She's trained specifically for military!
It's an episode on Military PTSD and highlighting the need for the government to take care of veterans.
Can kdf benchmark with other world best militaries on how they treat their veterans,Americans,British French etc have had their soldiers in war theatres for long.
