Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal said his bipolar diagnosis is “not all doom and gloom”, describing it as “part of who I am”.
He announced he was diagnosed with the mental health condition earlier this year, after previously receiving a positive assessment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2017.
Bipolar is a severe mental health condition that affects the mood and can cause it to swing from one extreme to the other.
Mr Blumenthal runs restaurants including the three Michelin star Fat Duck, two Michelin star Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Michelin-starred Hind’s Head, and the Perfectionists’ Cafe.
