Mike Nesbitt: BBC editor told Lynda to have a whiskey to help depression

The charity Action Mental Health said stigma was still a problem though things were getting better.

Chief executive David Babington told BBC News NI: “Whilst attitudes towards mental health have improved significantly over the last 30 years, stigma remains an ongoing issue particularly around severe mental illnesses.

“With demand for mental health support higher than ever and Northern Ireland lagging the rest of the UK in mental health funding, it’s more important than ever for workplaces to play a role in fostering a culture of support.”

This week, the charity launched a new well-being hub and membership hub for employers which it says will help them provide pro-active support to their staff on an on-going basis.

Ms Bryans has since opened up about her depression.

Nesbitt told MLAs that more than once someone, after attending one of her talks or reading something she had written, had said: “I believe she saved my life.”
