Sarah Lancashire, who returns to our TV screens this evening, once bravely recalled being diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 18 and how her twenties were "a write off" due to poor mental health.
The Happy Valley actress, now 58, detailed how she didn't tell anyone what she was going through as she spent chunks of the 1990s unable to get out of bed and even considered suicide when going through an "absolutely debilitating" mental health battle.
Sarah, who rose to national fame on Coronation Street, shared how being the public eye made her wary of talking openly about her struggles, but added that's "precisely what she should have done" - explaining how discussing taboo subjects can make a difference.
