Author Matt Haig, best-selling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes for a Nervous Planet, was on a local radio station doing an interview about mental health – it being World Mental Health Day and all that – when this happened.
Just did a local radio interview. Was talking about mental health stigma. Presenter said: ‘what about you – all writers are a bit bonkers aren’t they?’

I said something lame about everyone having mental health issues. I was in shock.

I would probably have followed it with ‘what about you – all presenters are a bit twattish aren’t they?’
