Phil Mitchell, a character in EastEnders, faces loneliness after personal losses and family conflicts, while his childhood friend re-enters his life with dementia. The show is addressing Phil's escalating depression and psychosis symptoms in collaboration with mental health organizations like Samaritans and Mind, aiming to showcase the importance of mental health awareness, especially among men, and how it impacts family and friendships. This storyline will detail Phil's emotional turmoil and will depict crucial themes of support and communication in mental health crises.
The EastEnders team has done a great job capturing the reality of a mental health crisis, and we were delighted to help them tell Phil's story safely and responsibly.
We know men often struggle to open up and share how they are feeling, so it's good to show the importance of checking in and lending a listening ear in this way.
Phil's character will experience hallucinations as his depression and symptoms of psychosis intensify, bringing light to important mental health issues.
