Show Notes
At what point do you accept that you need help?
John talks to political strategist, author and broadcaster Alastair Campbell about his battles with depression. Alastair has been very vocal about the after-effects of a psychotic episode that left him hospitalised in 1986, and seeing his brother Donald live with schizophrenia.
He talks about his resistance towards seeking help, how his spell in hospital has impacted his outlook, and how looking at a raisin helped calm his thoughts.
