Before leaving The Real Housewives Of Cheshire, Tanya Bardsley was a busy woman, juggling four businesses with being a mum to sons Rocco, 13, Renz, nine, and Ralphi, six, who she shares with Burnley FC footballer Phil Bardsley, and daughter Gabriella, 20, from a previous relationship.
But things took a turn for the worse when she began feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of responsibilities she had, which eventually led to her deciding to end her time on the reality show.
The decision was largely down to her struggle with her mental health after being misdiagnosed with depression for her entire life when she was really dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
ADHD is a condition that can create feelings of restlessness, inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. According to the NHS, people with ADHD can have additional problems such as sleep and anxiety disorders.
Now, in an interview to promote her new scent Chien (in support of Search Dog Heroes, a project run by the Missing People charity, which offers help to people who run away or go missing) Tanya, 41, has opened up on what it’s been like going through life taking medication for the wrong condition and how that has impacted her.
