DADS - Have you ever suffered from postnatal depression?
Or, have you had to support a partner who has suffered?
Award-winning company Dragonfly Film & TV, is keen to speak to parents who have suffered from Postnatal Depression for Channel Five’s ‘My Secret Past.’
We are looking for people who would be interested in sharing their experience on our programme. The aim of the documentary is to raise awareness of the illness and hopefully stop sufferers feeling so isolated. We are keen to include a male voice in our programme as postnatal depression affects men too!
Previous programmes have included Presenter Kate Thornton on anorexia, Rugby player Gareth Jones on coming out, and former athlete Fatima Whitbread on growing up in care.
If you would be interested in taking part in the programme, or simply would like more information, call on 020 7033 2283 or email david.harris@dragonfly.tv
Although I'm not willing to go on TV (sorrrrrrryyyyy nooooooooo way) I can say I suffered with depression when my daughter was born.
Thanks Robo295
I appreciate taking part in a programme can seem like quite a daunting task but we are really hoping that someone would be willing to share their story with us as its really important to raise awareness of this issue. The more its talk about in the open, the more we can help reduce the stigma.
Please everyone feel free to contact me confidentially if you would like to get more information about the programme.
