TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND EATING DISSORDERS
Years and Years front man Olly Alexander explores the mental health issues faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In this documentary Olly talks about how he went from being a school bullying victim to a diversity role model. The documentary touches upon some very serious mental health topics and Olly's battle with depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Olly also talks to other LGBTQ+ people and their struggles with mental health. There are positives as well! - Self-help groups and diversity sessions in schools, a men-only eating disorder group, and a Big Gay Mental Health event at London club The Glory.
But as Olly concludes: "Nothing will happen unless we talk about this."
