Roman Kemp, the well-known presenter, has recently shared some personal news. He announced that he has stopped taking anti-depressants for the first time since he was 15 years old. This was a big step for the 31-year-old, who has relied on medication to manage his depression for many years. While he emphasized that he is neither for nor against taking anti-depressants, he felt that he was ready to move on from them.
In an honest statement on Instagram, Roman revealed that it has now been four months since he stopped taking the medication and that it's completely out of his system. He expressed his relief at no longer having to rely on them, something he has done since he was a teenager. He also mentioned that he is looking forward to understanding what his emotional side is truly like without the effects of the medication.
Roman clarified that he does not have a strong stance on taking anti-depressants and believes that everyone should do what is right for them. He acknowledged that medication has helped him through a difficult period in his life, but he is now ready to move on. He shared his experience in case anyone else was worried about starting or stopping their own medication.
Many of Roman's celebrity friends responded to his post, some seeking advice and others offering support. Sian Welby commented on how proud she is of him, while Professor Green shared his own struggles with medication and offered to talk to Roman about his decision. Maya Jama, Davina McCall, Alison Hammond, and Hannah Waddingham all showed their love and support with heart emojis and kind words.
Roman has been open about his mental health struggles, and earlier this year, he thanked his listeners for saving his life and bringing him light and laughter. He has also shared on Steph's Packed Lunch about his battles with suicidal thoughts and his long-term use of anti-depressants. He compared his brain to being in a boxing ring, constantly being beaten up without ever learning how to fight back.
For those in need of emotional support, Roman shared some resources, including the Samaritans helpline, email, and website. He also mentioned HOPELINE247, a 24/7 service for anyone feeling overwhelmed or struggling with suicidal thoughts. Roman's candidness about his mental health struggles has helped raise awareness and provide support for those going through something similar.
