Clarke Carlisle has had a high-profile career as a professional football player for Burnley, chair of the Professional Footballers’ Association and, more recently, a pundit and commentator for ITV.

However, he has also endured an equally public fight with depression. 

In 2010 he was diagnosed with the mental illness. In 2014 he tried to take his own life by jumping in front of a lorry and then, in 2017, went missing and left a suicide note for his wife Carrie, intent on taking his own life in a nearby park.
