A DOCTOR who called for an overhaul of mental health treatment has died.

Stephen Sadler survived two suicide attempts before he criticised the care he had received.

The man who lived in Fownhope was completing specialist training to become a GP in Hereford when he was diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

He twice jumped in front of trains and lost a leg and an arm.

His mother Susan Clifford also called for a more joined up approach to physical and mental health treatment while also raising awareness of BDD.

She claimed the Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT) treatment led him to lose his memory and concentration and that the hospital in London where he stayed had few disabled facilities.

Writing on Facebook yesterday, Paul Sadler paid tribute to his brother.

He said: "Today my beautiful, strong and incredible brother Stephen Sadler passed away at home.

"He was my world, an inspiration, my big brother and my hero.

"The loss I feel is unimaginable. The bond Steve and I had was incredible, his love and courage was immense.

"My life will never ever be the same. Please continue to be with me Steve, I love you Bro. Xx."

Ms Clifford also wrote her own tribute on social media yesterday.

She said: "Today I lost my very brave, amazing, kind, dedicated and strong son Stephen.

"We are all broken. Our lives are in tatters and our pain is too much to bear.

"I love you Steve. Xxxx"
