YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Author Matt Haig has a large following online but has distinct misgivings about the impact of digital distractions on our well-being. He found himself an almost accidental spokesman on anxiety and depression after publishing a candid memoir, Reasons to Stay Alive. As Haig's new book, Notes on a Nervous Planet, appears, Newsnight’s Stephen Smith has met up with him.

If you are feeling emotionally distressed and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information 0800 066 066 (UK).
