Watching now and recording - I think this is one of the ones that was in the Sunday TImes magazine article?

:( So sad, but SO true. Many women display very visible symptoms and with luck are given the help they need quickly, but there are still too many who aren't treated soon enough or at all. Such a shame he has had to lose his family but amazing how he is using his experience to raise awareness. Maybe now it is being spoken about more, partners, husbands and professionals etc will raise their awareness as a result and more services will be made available? All ladies are at risk and should therefore be monitored but for those with prediagnosed mental illnesses, closer and more thorough after care is essential.

Hi all

I have just watched the segment and just wanted to warn people that it could potentially be very upsetting/triggering for people.

My only hope I guess is that we can begin to prevent such tragedies by working as hard as we do at APP about getting the message out about early recognition and treatment.
