Are You Ok? The Question That EVERYONE Needs To Be Asking | Roman Kemp | Fearne Cotton's Happy Place

Are you ok? It’s a question that’s often worth repeating with the people we love. Capital Breakfast Show host Roman Kemp lost his best friend and radio producer to suicide in 2020 and is now more adamant than ever that we must keep asking our friends and family if they’re really ok.
Are you ok? What do you feel like you need more of at this moment in time to enhance your wellbeing? 💛
In this chat with Fearne, Roman explains why he feels it’s important to share both his ongoing grief and stories of his own mental health with the nation each day. They also talk about why it’s important to be bold about using the word suicide; in naming it, we’re more able to do something about it.
Roman’s book, Are You Really Ok? is out now.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains a frank chat about suicide throughout, so do take care while listening.

Excellent discussion. I have depression and anxiety, 10 years ago I didn't even have any idea what it was. Ferne you're amazing for doing what you're doing, and Roman! I don't think you realise how much you're helping people. You've certainly helped me in feeling less alone and weird. Great interview!

[@nicholasr39]

Not knowing what it was is the dangerous part because you yourself have to reach out for help, the help doesn't come to you unless you become so bad you end up getting sectioned. I hope you feel better!

I agree the understanding needs to be early I didn’t realise what I felt as a child as at the very least was anxiety and it look me 20 years to know myself better ❤❤ Thank you for this ❤❤ Am I ok - no I wish people cared and really asked the ok question, listened and try not to fix or brush it away

I have had anxiety since I was young and I have just finished therapy with the NHS which was so helpful but I am looking into more long term therapy that’s how I think I can enhance my wellbeing
