Tony has come to value time or more specifically, clocks, since he was diagnosed as suffering from depression last year.

Tony is the head teacher of a primary school and was living a busy, fulfilled life until he was diagnosed with depression last year.

He first became noticeably ill when he'd been working particularly hard and fainted during a meeting at school. He visited his doctor, who diagnosed him as suffering from depression but was very supportive and confident that he would would, with help, overcome the depression.

Listen to how Tony has learnt how to put himself back together again through his love of clocks. .
