“We’re all human, not robots. I thought mental health problems were something that happened to other people, not me.” Former search and rescue paramedic Andy Elwood talks host Clare Freeman through some of the biggest moments in his life - changing careers, facing divorce upon returning from a gruelling tour in Afghanistan to learning to manage signs of PTSD.
