Sadiq Khan says he does not want people to feel sorry for him

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has spoken about the impact of receiving regular death threats on his mental health.

Mr Khan told the Guardian that dealing with these threats and the aftermath of traumatic events, such as terrorist attacks, had a “cumulative” effect.

When asked if he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, the mayor said: “Undoubtedly. My best friend is a doctor and we talk about it together.”

A spokesperson for Mr Khan told the BBC: “The mayor is seeking to challenge the stigma around mental health.”
