Elaine has struggled with her mental health for years.
Elaine was diagnosed with dysphoria by a psychiatrist when she was 36 years old, which is a condition that brings a lot of depression and a profound sense of unease and discontent.Admitting she had struggled with her mental health since she was young, Elaine has since spoken publically about her journey.
Appearing on The Six O'Clock Show last night, Elaine spoke about her struggle, with Karen Koster asked if she had been worried about speaking out about her own experience, which she replied:"Absolutely." She went on to discuss it more, saying:"Sure I was told before I did - because you know before this I had The Elaine Show, before that I had Midday."And you'd be talking about your life openly and expecting others to do the same with you.
"I actually felt like such a hypocrite because I was going through all of this and people were sharing the most harrowing stories with me and I said 'Listen I have to open up'." Speaking about how she was warned that it could have a negative impact on her career, Elaine went on to say:"Aisling O'Toole, who was the editor of Irish Country Magazine at the time, I trusted her. It's hard to trust somebody with a story like this because a lot of the headlines can be quite sensationalised and a bit cutting."So I talked about it but I was warned by a few people 'You know, this could be the end of your career, you'll be treated differently'.
