Essentials magazine: Health insight - 'the secret we need to talk about'

THIS month in Essentials magazine four women tell their stories of experiences of mental distress and explain why they feel we should all be more open.

I'm one of them.

My headline reads: "At last it made sense, I wasn't mad or weak - I was ill."

I'm featured discussing past episodes of depression alongside Sasha talking about post-natal depression, Barbara who details her OCD and Siobhan who explains how she has been affected by bipolar disorder.

The photo shoot was hilarious and full of fun. It's not a day I will forget in a hurry thanks to the warmth of the Essentials team and the laughs I shared with the inspirational women featured, not least Barbara who had me in stitches. I'm also delighted that the piece, the brainchild of journalist Alison Palmer, includes a plug for  this blog.

If you get chance, I hope you can check the feature out.
