    Yes and not many people talk about it or say they ever had it, there is a real stigma and this campaign is trying to lift that. Do you know how to help your friend?

    She's actually hospitalised at the moment, so getting help, we're not close friends but I hope to be a sympathetic ear if nothing else.
