Sadiq Khan has said he has been left with mental trauma due to a combination of the regular death threats he receives as London mayor, as well as dealing with the aftermath of disasters and terror attacks.

In an interview with the Guardian, Khan described it as a “cumulative” type of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while stressing he was not equating it to the PTSD endured by refugees or people who had faced similar experiences.
