In a week when there were two high profile documentaries about suicide on TV, Nik is joined by Dr Lee David -a GP and CBT therapist with special interests in mental health and resilience, compassion, behaviour change and education for health professionals.
We discuss the BBC documentary 'Roman Kemp: Our Silent Emergency' and the Channel 4 documentary ' Caroline Flack : Her Life And Death'. Both hearbreaking, but both looking at this very difficult issue from a different angle. What can we learn from watching them and how can we use that to help ourselves, our patients, our friends and our loved ones?

This week Dr Nighat Arif, who you might know from her work as a GP and women's health specialist on 'BBC Breakfast' and 'This Morning', joins Nik to discuss the hard hitting BBC drama ' I May Destroy You'.

Jill, Ritchie, Colin, Roscoe, Ash and Gregory had such an impact on everyone who watched, that we couldn't just cover the first 2 epsiodes. This week Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan and Dr Rex Melville are back to talk about the final 3 episodes of 'It's A Sin'.
