Ruby's depression is no laughing matter
COMEDIAN Ruby Wax’s television persona was loud, brash and over-the-top. A regular on our television screens, she interviewed and socialised with the rich, famous and the British royal family. However behind the scenes, Ruby battled with severe depression.
After spending a fortune on shrinks and attending clinics, five years ago she began to research how the brain works and discovered mindfulness, an ancient meditation practice, which “tames and calms’’ the mind. It has changed her life.
