Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

Professor Green: “I wanted to cuddle little me”


Listen Later

(At 05:19) Rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, has long been open about his mental health difficulties and has joined up with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy which reports seven in 10 men don’t seek support until they hit crisis point.

He explores why the figure is so high and goes on to tell Emma Tracey that his recent ADHD and Autism Diagnoses have helped him look back on his tricky school life and why he approaches rap battles in the way he does.

(at 19:30) Emma and Beth with listener feedback, families learning sign language (BSL / ISL) to support their deaf child, that Motability and black box story again, and more.

(at 27:35) Actress Kimberley Nixon has been in some of Britain’s best loved TV shows, but when she paused work to have a baby in 2020, her life turned upside down. Her book, She Seems Fine To Me, is the story of having perinatal obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and the lack of support she received while struggling with intrusive thoughts about her son being kidnapped, or filmed for the dark web.

Up to 17% of women experience perinatal OCD during pregnancy or the first year of their baby’s life but stigma means it isn’t often talked about. We’re joined by Dr Camilla Rosan who spearheaded research from theAnna Freud charity which recently said an additional 500 psychological practitioners are needed in maternal healthcare services in England to support 100,000 women.
