I am not going to comment on the current situation, partially because of how unclear things remain, and partially out of anger at how the entire situation has played out. But in light of the news of Huw Edwards receiving hospital care, and mental health once again being at the forefront of the news, I'm going to repeat what I said in the aftermath of Caroline Flack's passing.
If you are struggling with your mental health in any way, please speak to someone. That person could be:
- A family member
- A friend
- A work colleague
- Your GP
Alternatively, there are various helplines. The biggest one is the Samaritans, who you can speak to be either calling 116 123, or emailing jo@samaritans.org. Details for various other services can be found on the Mind website.

Thankfully, Huw has done the right thing in this situation. And whilst I think it is outrageous that the situation was allowed to develop to this point, it is a good opportunity to remind ourselves of what to do if we are ever struggling with our mental health.
Don't suffer in silence.
