Roy Whaley was 22 when his GP first offered to prescribe him antidepressants, but he resisted for almost a year.
At the time he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). ‘I had this intense anxiety around cleanliness and constantly needed to wash my hands,’ he says. ‘I actually wanted therapy and was put on the waiting list, but it was a long wait.’
After a very bad day when he crashed his car, he decided to give the antidepressants a try. ‘I was having a week where everything seemed to be going wrong,’ says Whaley, now 39 and living in Somerset. He started on the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) citalopram, and although it made no impact on his OCD, he noticed almost immediately that something else was changing.
