A Leeds man who was sectioned, homeless and depressed spent several years wondering why he was "different", until he found art and music to save him.
Bobby Eddison, who lives in Bramley, worked as an engineer for 20 years in the city before a "toxic" relationship left his mental health "spiralling". The dad-of-two suffered with depression for six years and was sectioned for 12 weeks in hospital.
"I lost my job, and my house, and some days I didn't event want to brush my teeth or get a bath," Bobby said. When has finally diagnosed with ADHD and told he was bipolar at the age of 42, things changed for the better. Bobby said: "I always knew I was a bit different and I knew I got frustrated and overreacted. Now I am comfortable with my self, open, and happy."
