Former Belfast chef opens up about mental health battle

Social media only portrays a snippet of someone's life and on first look at Darragh Milligan's Instagram, you'd think all was well, as he whips up tasty meals and recipes and enjoys time with his family.

Darragh admits that things began to unravel in his life and it was during lockdown that he found the strength and the courage to reach out and ask for help. Watching his wife endure three miscarriages in three years is just one of the things Darragh knows has been hard to deal with, and feels there really isn't enough support for couples and families who endure the incredibly difficult process.

With almost 22,000 followers on his Instagram page, Darragh says social media can be a dark place at times for many, but cooking and sharing his recipes has become his 'therapy'.
