Helen Flanagan Reveals Psychosis Episode

Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street actress, has disclosed that her parents were urgently called to take care of her children due to a severe psychotic episode triggered by a bad reaction to her ADHD medication. During a New Year's trip to Bali with her children, Flanagan experienced hallucinations and the intense fear that someone was trying to break into her home. She narrated the alarming episode on the Daily Mail’s The Life of Bryony podcast, detailing how she believed there was a man in her car and that she could have harmed someone while driving. Following the incident, her parents took care of her children for about a month until she felt capable of looking after them again. Flanagan also expressed the difficulty of explaining her situation to her children's nursery teacher, emphasizing her commitment to being a good mother despite the challenges she faced. This public revelation comes after her split from ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, which contributed to her mental health struggles.
