Why the long face? Depressed???
A former NHS director of mental health has revealed how depression crippled her life within just 10 days.
Mandy Stevens, who is also a registered nurse, began to show initial symptoms of the devastating mental illness in November.
But within little more than a week, she was left suicidal and was admitted to a mental health unit.
The condition has caused her to spend the past 12 weeks 'completely disabled' in an inpatient ward in the City & Hackney Centre for Mental Health, London.
But after being discharged last Friday, she has now shared her story to offer hope to millions of sufferers across the planet.
