Christy Clark on struggling with an eating and exercise disorder, supporting colleagues in difficult times, and the mental health of women in politics
"I know what it's like to lie in bed and think 'Nobody would notice if I was gone.'"
Christy Clark was the Premier of British Columbia from 2011-2017. Christy joins Emile and Dale to discuss her mental health experiences, including her father's history of depression and alcoholism; that caucus members need to support each other through difficult times to improve mental health; the importance of human resources in political workplaces; the challenges that women face in politics and how those challenges affect one's mental health; and Christy publicly discloses for the first time that she battled a serious eating disorder as a new MLA in the mid-1990s.
