Opening Up: Anxiety and Mental Health (2022x3)

: 24, 2022

This week on Q+A – a special conversation around anxiety, mental health and living in the public eye. The stress of the last few years has taken a toll on many people - how is it changing the way we speak about and support mental health? A quarter of Australians will experience an anxiety condition in their lifetime – but how many of us are prepared to speak openly about it? And how much harder is it to talk about when you’re a high-profile figure? Joining David Speers on the panel: Jelena Dokic, Former World No. 4 tennis player and broadcaster; Brooke Blurton, Mental health advocate; Bridget Archer, Federal Member for Bass; Stephen Jones, Labor MP for Whitlam; Mark Cross, Psychiatrist and author; With a live performance from the legendary Archie Roach.
