Have you been affected by poor mental health? Could sharing your experience help or inspire others?
Dr Sian is looking for pressing issues or inspirational stories to feature on her new mental heath slot on Channel 5 News, Mind Matters.
So far on the weekly segment, Dr Sian has tackled subjects including grief, menopause and living with a disability.
One of her first interviews was with Paul Sinha – known to fans of quiz show The Chase as Sinnerman – who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2019.
Joining Dr Sian in the Channel 5 studio, he told her about how the disease had encouraged him to embrace a “seize the day mentality”.
“It gives you a clarity of what can be achieved, and what can’t be achieved,” Paul said.
“Before the diagnosis I was trundling along. Now there’s a sense of urgency to just get things done.”
