i have no idea how many men suffer from depression, but Radio 4 is very much a minority interest audience so I don't suppose that large numbers of  depressed people will be listening to such a program

Perhaps relatives and friends and even those working with depressed people may be interested in listening to such a programme.

It helps some people, especially men, to know that they are not alone in suffering depression, for what ever reason.

Why not slag him off after you’ve actually heard what he has to say, rather than beforehand when you don’t know anything about the substance of his contribution?

Look if he is depressed ...he knows why....

What can he contribute..when he knows what is wrong with him...why speak out now...

There is nothing he can do about it .....think they call it karma ...in my opinion...

many people men especially don't know why they are depressed/suicidal ...its an illness....

Often needing medication....can't see how listening to him ...can help

Radio 4 is minority interest?  That’s news to me.  The BBC will report widely on this programme once it is aired anyway so it will reach a wide audience, we all know about it already for a start.

So is it your view that anyone who is depressed has nothing to add to the conversation about depression, and should simply shut up about it, or does that only apply to Gerry McCann...in your opinion?

At a time when more money is needed .....in my opinion....

Don't suppose any are perfect but the majority put their children first...especially there safety...



Didn't Prince Harry do the same thing .....although without an ulterior motive...in my opinion...
