Palace Performer Sheila McMahon tackles social stigma of mental
health - 2015
A PALACE Theatre performer has swapped standing on stage for standing on shelves after
releasing a new book.
Comedienne Sheila McMahon, who is also a psychotherapist, has written about tackling
mental health after battling severe depression since a child.
Using her personal experiences, years of counselling others and her sense of humour, the 39-
year-old is on a mission to try to reduce the social stigma that surrounds the issue.
The Power of Knowing You – Learning from the Past is on sale on Amazon – to attend the
