About the show

Welcome to Complex, the podcast that cuts a clear path through all the information and misinformation that's out there about our mental health. Because let's face it - there's so much of it! And a lot of it makes us worry - maybe I've got ADHD! Perhaps I've got empathy overload? Is my partner a narcissist? Kimberley Wilson is a chartered psychologist and she's on a mission to help you decide when to be concerned about what your mind is doing - and when not to be. Together with her expert guests - psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - she shares some valuable tips for how you can manage your mental health better. With the help of listeners' stories, Kimberley delves into different topics from helping you to work out whether you're a people-pleaser and what you can do about it; to understanding what attachment theory is and how it affects your relationship; to unpicking social anxiety and how best to grapple with it. If you have a question or observation about mental health, then please let us know. The email address is complex@bbc.co.uk. We might use what you tell us in the show, but we will make sure to do so anonymously. If you don't want your email to be included in the podcast, then please remember to let us know. Please be aware that Kimberley is not able to answer emails personally. If you are concerned you have a medical or mental health issue, then please contact your GP or seek expert help. Please also take a look on the BBC Actionline page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/actionline/ where you can find details of organisations offering information and support for common issues. Complex is a Loftus Media production for BBC Sounds. Commissioning Producer: Izzy Lee-Poulton Commissioning Editor: Rhian Roberts
