Michelle Ross spoke on last night’s Claire Byrne Live about losing her brother, Derek to suicide.
The topic of mental health and awareness of prospective mental problems were discussed in detail with Bressie throwing his own experience of mental problems into the mix.
Michelle conveyed how she will miss her brother until the day she dies herself – and that if her blog can stop one person or family from the same tragedy – that it’d be worth it.
Niall Breslin spoke about the recent election and the lack of mental health issues being talked about by the candidates.
Breslin said he felt it was a disgrace that although, like Pieta House, there’s plenty of help out there – but that an entire election went by without mental health being an issue was indicative of where it is in terms of a political agenda.
