In yesterday’s special edition of Woman’s Hour Jane Garvey and guests discussed the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the way in which such attitudes impact on people’s lives. And today’s programme is a chance for you to respond with your own views and experiences. Have you ever felt shunned or isolated by your mental health problems? Did you find it difficult to accept the diagnosis of mental illness or try to hide it from others for fear of their reaction? If you’ve coped with mental illness in your family, how did it affect you and how did you get through? And what was it like for you returning to regular life after a period of mental illness? Were you treated differently by friends and colleagues?
Lines are open between 8.00 - 10.45am on Wednesday.
