Liz, 29, Leicester
"At 13 I was in a desperate blur of darkness, trapped in my own spiral of depression and despair while trying to hide it from everyone around me. I was dragging myself through each day and my desire to become a doctor was all that kept me going. I almost missed the chance to fulfil that dream because of my depression. But thanks to the help of an amazing therapist I learned to deal with the issues and now I am a G.P. I believe there is so much shame and stigma around issues of mental health that talking about it is a vital first step towards recovery."
