Former Belfast chef opens up about mental health battle admitting cooking became his therapy

Social media only portrays a snippet of someone's life and on first look at Darragh Milligan's Instagram, you'd think all was well, as he whips up tasty meals and recipes and enjoys time with his family.

But behind the Belfast Undercover Chef Instagram profile, is someone who has come through a battle with his mental health, and admits he will continue to battle every day of his life, but he is determined to do so for his beloved wife and two children.

Opening up for the first time about his struggles, Darragh says he is doing so in the hope that maybe someone else who finds themselves in the dark places that he has been in the past, will speak out and ask for help.
