  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Tackle HIV Talking Stigma Podcast, Gareth Thomas is joined by TV personality Vicky Pattison for an honest discussion about the stigma surrounding women's health. Vicky, who has evolved from a reality TV star to a vocal advocate for women's health and empowerment, shares her journey living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a hormone related condition which causes extreme emotional and physical symptoms.

    Vicky’s story emphasises the importance of openness and the need for better understanding and support for women's health issues. Their discussion underscores the role of personal stories in breaking down stigma and promoting a more inclusive approach to healthcare, from PMDD to HIV.

    Gareth and Vicky talk about the importance of authenticity and resilience in the face of misunderstanding and stigma, while also highlighting their journey towards self-acceptance and advocacy. For more information on PMDD visit mind.org.uk.
