Episode 9: Mental health and dads

Mark Williams has just had a film made about his life and what a life it is. He had his first panic attack as his son was being born. He went on to have a breakdown and was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. These experiences spurred Mark on to become a prolific mental health campaigner. 

We talk about the many mental health issues affecting dads: The lack of support, the lack of mental health screening, the damage caused by 'man up' culture and where men can get help. 

We also discuss Daddy Blues, the film that will shortly be released about Mark's mental health journey. This bio-pic will be released on Amazon Prime. 

I could listen to Mark talking all day. He's a very prolific mental health campaigner and knows this subject incredibly well.
