ITV's Lorraine viewers rushed to offer their support to former Hollyoaks star Joe Tracini during Thursday's show after he was invited on to discuss life with a split personality disorder.
The actor spoke about how difficult day-to-day living is with the illness - he also told presenter Lorraine Kelly, that he has thought about killing himself several times - causing alarm to many watching from home.
He has also written a book called 'Ten Things I Hate About Me' to help others in a similar situation, and says he struggles to stay alive everyday because he believes his brain is trying to kill him.
