Last week Helen bravely opened up about her diagnosis after struggling with the breakdown of her relationship with ex Scott Sinclair.
Helen, who split from Scott in July 2022, told how a bad reaction to ADHD medication triggered temporary psychosis.
She said: “Basically I really struggled mental health wise December/January.
“I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year.
“I had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram. I felt terrible.
“I was due on my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids but I had a really bad reaction though to the medication ( an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.
“I just love my kids so much.”
What is psychosis?
PSYCHOSIS is when people lose contact with reality.
According to the NHS website, this might involve seeing or hearing things that other people cannot see or hear (hallucinations) and believing things that are not actually true (delusions).
It may also involve confused (disordered) thinking and speaking.
Experiencing the symptoms of psychosis is often referred to as having a psychotic episode.
Psychosis can be triggered by:
- a traumatic experience
- stress
- drug misuse
- alcohol misuse
- side effects of prescribed medicine
- a physical condition, such as a brain tumour or dementia
- head injury
- childbirth
The soap star was due to star in play Cluedo 2, but pulled out due to medical reasons.
She was replaced by Corrie and Strictly legend Ellie Leach.
Helen continued: “This bad reaction though was a few days before rehearsals were starting and sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it.
“I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but i needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents.
“I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now.
“Therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now. Anyway sending love and please be kind.”
