As part of its twentieth anniversary, HARDtalk takes another look at its 2013 interview with Ruby Wax. Mental illness is the invisible scourge of modern life, and it comes with a stigma. To admit to depression, or another illness of the mind, has been to risk being labelled as weak, self-indulgent or mad. Ruby Wax wants to change that.
