He was a chancer Lencoboy, we never did hear the outcome. But yes anxiety back then was swept under the carpet. I'd never heard of it so obviously struggled because I didn't know what I was dealing with. Comments I heard family members make lead me to keep it as a terrible secret until 1989 when I tried to do something silly. But even then I was speaking Swahili to them and to this day its still the unspoken 'illness'.
