Ben suffers from depression and discusses his day to day life on how it affects his eating and sleeping as well as his mood. He's lived with it for as long as he can remember but it wasn’t until he was about 17 or 18 that he realised it wasn’t normal to feel the way he did. Talking to others and campaigning for mental health awareness is his way of coping with it.
