An SAS sergeant who toured Iraq and Afghanistan killed himself moments after saying in a final video: 'I asked for help but no one was listening'. SSG Ferguson's tragic death has been called a 'catalyst for change' as MPs call for action to help those suffering with mental health issues. 'My message to the MoD is please stop relying on charities to deal with mental health problems - it's your job. 'He said he never wanted to practise medicine again after the incident because he believed that his mental health would be at risk if he continued. He said: 'Tragedies of this sort will continue without a national centre for excellence for personnel's mental health, just as we have a centre for physical injuries and rehab.'
