Duncan started experiencing depression in his early thirties. After surviving an attempt to take his own life, Duncan relied heavily on the support of his children. His daughter Breanna became his primary carer.
Duncan's shame and fear of what others might think prevented him from getting the help he needed when he most needed it. However, once he reached out for help and got suitable support, his life started to improve.
Breanna shines a light on the common and challenging experience that children of parents with mental illness face and what it means to be a young carer.
