After suffering from depression and anxiety for years, Tom and his friend Ryan decided that there was a gap in the market for a men mental health group. We Are MENtal Health is a group for people of all ages in Somersham where they can come along and off-load every week. The group has grown since they set it up last year, and have now even launched a 'fit club' using exercise to health combat mental health problems. Tom also opens up about his years of drug and alcohol abuse and how he used them to help mask his depression and anxiety. A great podcast with two amazing guests who are really doing something to help people who need it!
