During the course of her discussion on her mental health in relation to her periods, Helen Flanagan was overheard expressing her desire to be prescribed medicine by her physicians. In a recent interview, the actress said that she had a “really scary” breakdown earlier this year, which resulted in her withdrawing from the public eye and leaving her “dream job.”
Helen, who rose to fame for her role as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, disclosed in March what has been going on and told her fans that she had been struggling with her mental health since before Christmas. She also revealed that earlier this year, she experienced a “bad reaction” to the ADHD medication that she was taking, which caused her to enter a state of “psychosis.”
Last month, the former soap opera actress maintained her transparency and honesty with her fans and following by revealing that she has “always struggled” with her hormones and has been looking for a solution to the problem.

Since then, she has started working with an educator who specializes in womb and menstrual cycle awareness. She states that this educator has assisted her in “understanding her body” better.
After experiencing mental health issues that left her feeling “awful and depressed,” the woman, who is now 33 years old, has said that she “used to feel horrendous before her period” and has begged with her physicians to prescribe her medicine in order to “level her out.”
Helen is going to talk about how she had believed that the medicine would “fix her,” but instead it made her feel “absolutely terrible.” This is going to be discussed in a forthcoming interview on the Full of Grace Podcast. In a portion of the podcast that will be made available to the public on Friday (June 7), Helen can be heard stating, “I just, I couldn’t cope, I just felt so awful, and I would feel so depressed.”
“[I would go to] the doctors and be like ”I honestly feel so horrendous mentally before my period, I need to take something to level me out.” She continued by saying: “I thought it was gonna kind of like fix me but it actually made me feel absolutely terrible.”
