lllustrator, best-selling author and mental health advocate Campbell Walker, better known as Struthless, has amassed over 50 million video views where he discusses mental health and creativity - and how the two go hand in hand.

Mental health is close to his heart - especially after hitting rock bottom in his early 20s and having to rebuild his life from the ground up.

His new book Doom and Bloom: The case for Creativity in a World Hooked on Panic is out next week and has been described as a self-help book unlike any other.

Campbell Walker AKA Struthless speaks to Mihi - and just a warning this interview discusses suicide and sexual abuse.
