Talking to cows lifted me out of depression

Available for over a year

When Victoria Dimond left her grandparents' farm to set up her own dairy operation she struggled for several years to find a new home for herself and her herd of cows. The insecurity took a toll on her mental health and she was treated for depression. But she tells Emily Thomas that, for her, talking to her cows rather than taking any drugs, proved to be the best therapy. (Picture: Victoria Dimond with her cows. Credit: BBC)
