This is powerful

This is powerful.

A video of rapper Professor Green is being shared on Twitter today and it’s nothing to do with music, it’s all about mental health.

The 31-year-old has battled anxiety and depression from an early age and has talked openly about losing his dad, who killed himself in 2008.

He opens up about his experiences in this interview with BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire and it’s a really moving piece of video.

The majority of it is about the relationship with his father and he makes some excellent points about mental health towards the end.
