Episode 3
In this episode, we speak to bestselling author and mental health campaigner, Rachel Kelly. In her early thirties, Rachel was diagnosed with severe depression after suffering two major depressive episodes. They have since become defining events in her life, and she draws upon these and her life experiences to support others. Beth and Rachel discuss mental health and identity, whether a diagnosis is helpful for recovery, and how to approach difficult conversations about suicide. Finally, Rachel speaks about the benefits of healthy eating and shares her favourite recipe from her book ‘The Happy Kitchen: Good Mood Food’.
