Fans of Netflix's Bridgerton spin-off series Queen Charlotte will notice it reflects some of the modern-day challenges we face with mental illness. Monica and Annette believe the crisis, which has intensified post-Covid - especially among teenagers - means more people who are suffering, should seek help. But if we're feeling mental health challenges, we should avoid our "misery stabilizers" such as excessive drinking or high social media use.
