Debbie Horsfield, Aidan Turner and Karen Thrussell during the Poldark Series 4 premieremagazine, Horsfield revealed that the birth of her first child catalysed a “permanent ‘fog’” that she initially didn’t recognise as postnatal depression.
“After the birth of my first child, it didn’t occur to me to talk about the permanent ‘fog’ I felt I was wading through, let alone consider it a form of post-natal depression,” she recalled. The screenwriter went on to explain that a difficult episode opening up to a family member re-emphasised the shame and stigma pervading mental health awareness in society.
“When I eventually confided in a family member, she actually got up and ran out of the room!,” she continued. “This was something of a blow - it had taken courage to ‘come clean’ - until I realised the person concerned had probably struggled with that same issue herself and still found it hard to come to terms with.”novels, also reflected that the experience gave her an valuable “insight into the challenges involved in acknowledging and addressing the stigma and fear surrounding the subject”.
“He goes into the royal college of surgeons as someone who is interested in mental health,” actor Luke Norris, who plays Enys, said during the premiere of the fifth series. “And obviously at the time, and even now, it is quite a taboo subject. It is a difficult subject.”
