Ask Anna - I can't find my way back to normal

In this Monday episode of the Ask Anna series, Anna is joined by actor, author and mental health and black right advocate, David Harewood.. Together Anna and David tackle the following connundrum: ''I'm recovering from a serious mental health breakdown and I'm really struggling to find a way back to normality. I feel so much better in myself and my thoughts and mind are clear, but what's happened has impacted my relationships and my friends and family all act differently around me. How can I get back to the life that seemed much simpler before?" David Harewood was awarded an OBE in 2023 for his services to drama and mental health advocacy. His career as an actor and documentary presenter spans 40 years. He works in both the UK and America and he has appeared in shows such as HOMELAND, THE NIGHT MANAGER, SUPERGIRL and BLOOD DIAMOND. On stage he’s appeared as Martin Luther King in the award-winning play The Mountaintop and he was the first Black actor to play Othello at the Royal National Theatre. He delivered the 2023 Richard Dimbleby Lecture and was recently made President of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
