Natasha Naomi Rea, who has appeared in Coronation Street and Emmerdale, hopes to tackle mental health stigma with her book Me, Myself and Bipolar Brenda. The #speakoutlikeBrenda campaign has seen former Corrie actress Catherine Tyldesley, Emmerdale's Joe Gill, Samantha Giles and Lisa Riley and Game of Thrones star John Bradley turn extracts from Natasha's book into powerful monologues.
