Walking is one of my passions- its how I relax, keep fit and manage pain, however as a busy chief executive, with plenty of meetings and travelling to fit in, it is a time-consuming hobby. When I was a teenager, suggesting a walk to me was almost like swearing and I was very good at avoiding it, but now, walking has become a vital part of my life.

M y first encounter with the psychiatric system in America was at the age of 18. I spent my days crying — if not crying, I was thinking about how my presence in space and time was inherently burdening others.
