Yes, I found it on catch-up thanks AnnC. We have just finished watching this now.

An amazing story given by a brave man in simple terms for everyone to become
much more aware of mental health conditions. Awesome! Well worth watching.

I keep taking the medication - without it I would be back to a sorry state - if I feel I'm slipping back I just up the dosage - with my GPs approval :-D :-D

We missed that programme AnnC, but would really like to watch this on catch-up.
When was it on TV please? I hope Tim recovers soon. His work is just amazing.

We love Men and Boys Allowed, it is pure magic. They all sing with such passion.

Keep taking the medication AnnC, clinical depression is a dreadful illness.Take care xx

anyone see the programme on BBC1 of Tim's struggle with mental illness? He was admitted to Whitchurch Hospital - just across the road from me and where I worked for almost thirty years - so lovely to hear someone praise the hospital and it's services

He suffered from clinical depression with suicidal thoughts - something which I also suffer from, but with medication I'm fine

A very illuminating programme which will hopefully help to take away the stigma of mental illness
