Jeremy Thomas’s Live Talk: Wednesday 1st May, 6.45pm
Hot News! Jeremy Thomas, author, music business veteran, host of Shed Talks, co-creator of BBC TV’s ‘Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive’, co-author of ‘You Don’t Have to Be Famous to Have Manic Depression – An A-Z Guide to Mental Health’ and a mental health speaker of 12 years is giving an intimate live post Lockdown talk.
With good humour and practical advice, ‘How to Stay Sane in an Insane World’ will firstly follow Jeremy’s own story of bipolar disorder and addiction, and then share helpful mental health tips for everyone using his dashboard of dials. Your favourite mental health topics will be discussed – bipolar, depression, trauma, stress, addiction, anger, anxiety, and self-esteem. There’s also 30min of Q&A, and refreshments will be provided.
“Jeremy Thomas is a complete original. His writing, like his life, is a whirlwind of brilliance, wonder and blunder, by turns hilarious and terrifying. Highly recommended” Stephen Fry

Mental Health in the UK, as it stands
- 1 in 4 of us will suffer some kind of mental health condition
- 60% of people looking for Mental Health treatment find it difficult
- Over 1/3 getting Mental Health treatment with the NHS thought it was of bad quality
Mental health is, thankfully, now a big part of the national conversation. Attitudes of the past are evolving to reflect new approaches that treat mental health conditions much like any physical illness, an approach Jeremy has been promoting for over twenty years.

“Jeremy delivers a compelling talk which is fluent, serious, but never solemn. At a time of alarmingly increased prevalence of mental health disorders in both adolescents and adults in the UK, we desperately need preventative strategies, and ways of encouraging healthy emotional development.
Jeremy’s talks could not be more timely.“
Christopher Cordess, FRCP, Emeritus Professor of Forensic Psychiatry, University of Sheffield, UK.
