RTE Tommy Tiernan viewers praise Dublin podcaster Sophie White for 'honest' chat about mental health

RTE viewers have praised Dublin writer and podcaster Sophie White for her "honest" chat with Tommy Tiernan on Saturday night’s show about her struggles with mental health.

During the show, the pair chatted about how they both have written columns for the Sunday Independent, before talking about Sophie' first ever book. She explained: "My first book was called Recipies For A Nervous Breakdown and it was a cookbook slash memoir, and it was about a nervous breakdown I had when I was 22.

“I was going along doing the normal things. I would have considered myself to be a respectable drug taker. I wouldn’t have thought I had engaged in risky behaviour or anything," said Sophie.
