Racing Welfare does vital work supporting people in racing. But mental health is complex, and a gap remains for specialist clinical care beyond the charity’s remit. Read my full analysis here:

A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x

@awaisaftab is trying to salvage psychiatry against critical psychiatry for a new generation in the same way as Anthony Clare did with anti-psychiatry for a previous generation. criticalpsychiatry.blogspot.… @markhoro

I am reminded of a legal case. Where a forward thinking bookmaker took the horse racing regulator to court over the incompetence of BHA raceday stewards
And won
And how major bookmakers refused to back the action
I wonder how they feel this morning?

Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

This is what BBC Radio 4 and Archive on Four do best. An absolutely deserved celebration of Anthony Clare and his "In the Psychiatrist's Chair". Amazing programme, and as Kirsty Young - no slouch herself - says was the best interviewer of his generation – at Bath, England
J C Clare retweeted
Thank you @BBCRadio4
for Kirsty Young's
'in the psychiatrist's chair'
Brilliant 👌😍 broadcasting.
I'm now thinking 🤔🧐 of paying my licence fee.
A wonderful hour.
I now have more respect for the work of a psychiatrist.
Every day is a skool day

Maybe it’s time @rte @RTELateLateShow interviewed Helen Joyce, the bias of your organisation @kevinbakhurst is impossible to deny at this stage.

We keep talking about mental health in horse racing as if a framework exists.
