Dr. Anthony  Akenzua is  consultant psychiatrist in the United Kingdom. I have achieved competence in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of mental disorders, including the management of various psychiatric emergencies. I am a Fellow of the West African College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

My training and subsequent clinical practice has exposed me to wide and diveyrse range of clinical problems and as consultant psychiatrist for the intensive care unit, where all patients admitted are formally detained, I regularly have to use the various Sections of the Mental Health Act 1983 in the care and treatment of patients I am responsible for. 

 On completion of basic psychiatric training, I commenced a clinical research fellow position in forensic psychiatry with clinical sessions at HMP Belmarsh. I was responsible for the assessment and initial management of mentally unwell inmates, making decisions about treatment and referral to outside hospitals.

 Prior to my year as a clinical research fellow in forensic psychiatry, I undertook six months of training in a medium secure unit, with significantly high-risk patients with psychotic disorders and complex personality related difficulties all detained under civil and forensic sections of the Mental Health Act. I regularly prepared psychiatric reports addressing issues relating to fitness to plead or stand trial, the bearing of mental illness on index offences and appropriate psychiatric disposable options.

Lacey Lee Eliott is an  automotive journalist and host of Global TVs Driving Television. She has been test driving and talking about cars for almost 20 years. She is also a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist.

​Over the years Lacey has had some interesting struggles. And, like many people, anxiety, stress and depression are all things that have impacted here life.

​Experiencing her first panic attack outside a sushi shop she learned very quickly how debilitating anxiety can be.

​Medication and counseling was the first choice of treatment. Being active and eating healthy was second nature for her. But it was at this time that she started to add Yoga and mediation into her already healthy lifestyle.

​Things didn’t seem to be getting any better. The ‘anxiety’ attacks had no common denominator. She called them ‘episodes’ because the idea of labeling them as anxiety or having an anxiety disorder comes with such a negative association. As a public figure, it was important that her image not be tainted.

​Most people are not able to get closure with mental issues like Lacey did. She speaks openly about her experiences and feels that it is the best way to let others know they are not alone. Her goal is to remind others that it is ok to not be ok. We all have bad days and we have all felt negative emotions at some point in our lives.
