Tonight on BBC1 at 10:45 Inside Sport will be tackling the issue of mental health and sports, particularly looking at depression and anxiety. As the BBC website says:
"Marcus Trescothick is joined by former boxer Frank Bruno, Northern Irish footballer Neil Lennon and legendary All Black John Kirwan to discuss their battles against depression and to examine the myths and misconceptions that still surround mental illness."
Gabby Logan has written about it on the BBC website here
I am really pleased that this topic is being dealt with on a sports programme, for one it may bring the issue to the attention of many people who would not tune in to a programme about mental health normally and because some of those people may well find support from watching the programme.
I have also been writing today about language and disability on my sister blog The Salmon Leaping
