Back after a never-ending series of bank holidays, Mental Health Monday takes a look at the theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week - Anxiety.

Mick is joined by Sahara, who is taking part in the BACP's new AI Art project, which is creating computer generated images inspired by the spoken and written words of people who struggle with anxiety.

Sahara describes what life was like for her growing up with anxiety - and the physical and mental impact it can have on you.

The images went on display at Waterloo station, and are also available on the BACP website.

Sahara's image, which you can see in the podcast artwork, reflects her own experience of the mental health issue.
