Poor old Sarah Vine

Sarah Vine wrote an article in the Daily Mail last year about her battle with depression so it's hardly a career move.

All I know is that SV frequently writes rubbish in the DM and would be no supporter of increasing taxation to improve mental health services.

Think it is a matter of opinion. Do not agree with you at all. Do you have an axe to grind Elvive?

I quite like Sarah Vine and enjoy her columns.blush

It's a funny old world isn't it? 99% of the population is relieved that depression, and other mental health issues, are being recognised and accepted as something that can affect any one of us, irrespective of who, or what, you are and is no longer something to be ashamed or embarrassed about.

Elvive is in the 1% who sees it as some nonsense about anti depressants.

Is that because you don't like Sarah Vine? Or the Daily Mail? Or that you don't believe that depression exists in the first place Elvive? hmm

I haven’t had depression Elvive but know of people who have and as she happens to be one of them, then I think it’s good admitting she too finds it awful trying to get off the medication as speaking out may reassure others.

I think your comment is a little harsh.

And horror of horrors she has to take her own bins out.

At least Mrs May’s DH did that.

I thought this was about her husband's bid for grandeur?

Imagine the best career move you can make is the Daily Fail and some nonsense about anti depressants?
