F***ING MENTAL! with Paddy Nicholls
Health & Wellness Podcasts
Odd circumstances have brought 27 year old Filmmaker/Mental Health Activist/Music-Obsessive, Paddy Nicholls, to the world of podcasting. Like many media-wannabes, the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic opened up the possibility of the slightly misanthropic Mancunian to start a podcast due to the hours of either doing that or laying around in his own filth all day....but the real catalyst was on receiving two mental health diagnoses in only October 2020 after years of struggling, after what Doctors passed off more generally for so long as depression and anxiety and nothing more. Wandering the existential wilderness of living with a new diagnosis and perspective on life, Paddy explores the subjects he's most passionate about - film, music and mental health - in this unorthodox, witty and emotionally honest show.
