Alastair Campbell talks suicide, stigma and more with Adam Deacon

Mental health campaigner, writer and political commentator Alastair Campbell and actor, director, writer, producer and musician Adam Deacon have a fireside chat discussing their experiences of mental health in general and bipolar in particular.
They talk about the continuing stigma of mental illness and how men typically find it difficult to talk about their health, especially their mental health. The conversation also focused on suicide prevention, highlighting the increased risk for people with bipolar:
1 in 20 people who take their own life in the UK have a diagnosis of bipolar
Someone with bipolar has a suicide risk that’s at least 20 times greater than someone without bipolar, which is higher than someone with major depressive disorder
Yet these statistics don’t reveal the whole picture as both men explain.
