Emmerdale 's Cathy Hope learned her likely health diagnosis on Monday night, after months of struggling with her mental health as well as experiencing physical symptoms.
Cathy found herself lashing out in recent weeks yet unable to explain why, while she did begin to suffer from painful and heavy periods.
Things took a worrying turn last week when the teenager suffered from a manic episode and nearly got herself killed, as she didn't seem to realise or care about the danger she was in.
