Casualty spoilers also follow.
Casualty is a show that has never shied
away from telling stories about mental health.
In recent years, the medical drama
has sensitively depicted David’s bipolar disorder, Duffy’s anxiety and depression and Iain’s suicide attempt.
But the recent format change – shorter box sets of episodes with an overarching theme – has given the show the opportunity to take this further and put the topic at the forefront of the action.
The current series, titled ‘Breaking Point’, is exploring the mental-health struggles of not only patients but the staff at Holby.
