Diane Smith is an unemployed mother of one and has been struggling with severe depression ever since the early years of her childhood. In this interview, she opens up about her personal experiences with alcohol and how her depressed state of mind has affected her mentally, emotionally and physically - especially during the lead up to her pregnancy. There is a lot of negative stigma behind mental health therefore it is still viewed as a 'taboo' subject; she discusses common misconceptions, antidepressants and reinforces the idea that there is help out there when and if you need it.

Side note: If you suffer from any Mental Health problems whether that be Depression, Self-Harm, Anxiety, etc and wouldn't mind filling out a very short survey for research purposes then that would be of great help - your contribution ensures that the primary and secondary information is accurate and that the finalised demographics aren't fabricated. The survey covers the likes of gender, age range, physical symptoms you've experienced, coping mechanism(s), medication, etc and any additional comments are welcome. However, if there are any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering then feel free to skip them at any time.
The survey can be found at:
