Megan Barton-Hanson has spoken out about feeling "free" since coming off anti-depressants after four years.
Megan – who earlier this year spoke to Closer about coping with poor mental health for our Where’s Your Head At campaign – took to her Instagram to share the news, despite denying she was on the medication previously.
"I wasn't going to share this, as I've denied being on antidepressants in past interviews," she wrote.
"I saw it as a weakness, which in hindsight it was the opposite, I struggled with accepting help and asking for it because I didn't know why I felt depressed and anxious."

She went on to thank her friends for supporting her through the transition, "Even tho…I ignore your whatapps for day’s because I couldn’t deal with getting out of bed!
"I’m so proud to finally say I’m off antidepressants after 4 YEARS and I wouldn’t have been able to do it with out you all," she continued.
"After relying on them for so long I was petrified of ever missing one. I would get the shakes and panic if I forgot one."
