Thank you, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, for your openness and honesty in your article (I feared my mental health struggles would hold my son back, but I’m starting to see they could help him, 29 October). It really resonated with me, and I am sure it resonated with many other parents too.
Having been mentally healthy until the age of 40, I had a serious breakdown in 2017 when my twin daughters were 11. I have fully recovered now, but the journey was long and painful, and I have often feared the impact it would have on them.
