Kate Garraway has opened up about feeling "depressed" while caring for her husband, Derek Draper. The broadcaster and Good Morning Britain presenter, 55, has been caring for Derek since his health dramatically deteriorated after contracting Covid-19 in 2020.
She took to Instagram to mark World Mental Health Day and address her new documentary, Caring for Derek, being nominated for a National Television Award.
Kate tells fans: "In the documentary, you saw me frustrated, depressed, emotional. And I've been all of those and more in recent weeks and months and more. "Because that's the thing with caring, you want it to carry on because you want the person to be surviving and still with you, so that you CAN care for them, but there isn't an endpoint and it doesn't get any easier." She also captioned the video with thanks for the nomination, adding: "We made the film to highlight the challenges and rewards of being a carer, but since then things haven’t got any easier either for Derek and I, nor for the millions of other carers right across the UK. "@carersfirst have done some research & the economic crisis has left many feeling suicidal , hundreds of thousands with mental health issues & more than 93 percent say they can’t sleep because they are so terrified about the future.
On #worldmentalhealthday I have been thinking about what so many are going through. If you haven’t seen #caringforderek it is still on the @itv hub.
