Why are celebrities now choosing to talk openly about their mental health?

To mull it over, we are joined by blogger Seaneen Molloy-Vaughan and social enterprise director Mark Brown. They have lived-experience of mental health struggles and can empathise with celebrities, like Zayn Malik, who has had to cancel shows due to anxiety.

With Damon Rose, Beth Rose and Emma Tracey.
