Nadia Sawalha has opened up about being in tears over her husband’s mental health condition. The Loose Women star previously spoken about her husband Mark Adderley’s Bipolar II disorder and depression , for which he was diagnosed in 2021. Nadia said that "he was told that he would have been trying to deal with his illness since he was five or six years old".

Writing in HELLO , Nadia explained that "by default" she has to also "endure" her husband’s "horrors of depression". "Except it's easier for me than it is for him. Much easier," she explained.

"We've been married for almost twenty years, and I would say it's only really in the last few years that I've fully understood what living with depression means...

It breaks my heart when he tells me how sad he is because I adore him and it feels so unfair. But it's also much better in the long run to know the truth," she said. Mark recently took to Instagram where he looked back on his experience navigating alcohol abuse, as well as his mental health conditions, before he went sober.

The film producer shared an old photo of himself with his and Nadia’s daughter Maddie, now age 19, and his mother. He wrote beneath the picture: "This was me at my most chaotic, out of control and sad." Mark continued: "I knew I had huge reasons to be happy because of our dear dear baby girl - but drink had me in its grip.

I can see a strained smile and dead eyes." He added: "I can see me wanting to be part of a defining family photo - and I can.
