"I think it was the fact I was uneducated about mental issues myself. Although I had the symptoms, I didn’t necessarily know how to handle them or move forward." He added: "When I was diagnosed with anxiety, it was a case of 'you have anxiety, be on your way' sort of thing, no real support.
"I remember looking at the piece of paper the doctor gave me and I ticked every symptom - it was that severe.
"It was refreshing to know that I was suffering from something, but at the same time to be enduring so many things at such a young age, it was scary."
