Josh is an author and mental health speaker. He's recently written a book entitled Anxious Man: Notes on a Life Lived Nervously. It's a book that the great Stephen Fry described as 'required reading' and one that he read in one sitting - high praise indeed. In 2016 Josh experienced an intense mental breakdown which culminated in him being diagnosed with a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). He wrote about this experience in an article for The Times which, following an overwhelming public reaction, led to him writing his first book ‘Anxious Man’. Josh now devotes his time to trying to help others through writing, broadcasting and public speaking. We talk about managing anxiety, his own experience with GAD and how it led to him writing his first book. As Josh puts it: ‘when it comes to mental health problems, sometimes just talking about it is enough’. This is exactly what we do with Josh.
