Dancing with the black dog

You can now buy a black dog logo to show those around you that suffer from anxiety and depression that it’s ok to say they’re not ok.

The dancing with the black dog blog was tweeted by Stephen Fry and you can show your support by buying a badge.

This is a great initiative to get mental health out in the open and discussed.

Recovering from Mental trauma

It’s mental health awareness week and there have been some very good documentaries on TV, including Louis Theroux’s Mum’s on the edge and Nadiya Hussain’s piece on anxiety.

It was shocking to learn that Nadiya didn’t have any friends, as she is such a well known and likeable TV personality.

She was seeking treatment for her anxiety, because she wants to recover.

I have written a book on mental health recovery called Mental Health Recovery Heroes Past and Present exploring how much mental health sufferers can achieve even while taking medication.

It is nice to see Nadiya Hussain showing how it can affect a very successful person and the effect it has on her life.
