A young woman is to shine a light on the memory of her late dad by encouraging men to open up about their own mental health.
"My dad struggled to open up with his feelings, he had his demons and struggled with his mental health a lot especially the last three years of his life. My dad struggled with many things including body dysmorphia, paranoia and depression. People may think that only women struggle with their appearance however it also affects men, including my dad.
She said: "Two weeks prior to August 30 we thought we had reached a turning point with my dad when he went to get help from A&E regarding his depressive thoughts, however they released him almost immediately. After spending time with his parents my dad agreed to get help so he had contacted the doctors. However, as it was during coronavirus times doctors were not seeing patients and the waiting lists were long but we had great hope that everything would be okay.
She said: "Foyle Search and Rescue treated us with respect throughout, they gave us the information straight and didn’t restrict details. They treated us as if we were normal people not a news story or something to gossip about.
