The mother-of-five is refreshingly open and honest about her mental health struggles. She spoke openly about facing depression and PTSD in her Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price: Trauma and Me.
“I tried to kill myself,” she said in the emotional film, adding she knocked herself out and gave herself black eyes. She continued she “didn’t want to be here” after waking up with bruises round her neck.
Katie’s recovery was aided by a stay at The Priory clinic, which all in all gave her time to recover and identify what triggered poor mental health days.
