I do hope the lady talked about in such depth in your article has given her consent to her case being highlighted in such a public way (and is well enough to give her consent). There is more than enough quite specific information there, that if she came across the story, it would be quite clear that it was her who is being talked about.0

I think you may have missed this bit in the blog...

It's great that you are shining a light on mental health and the link to debt.
For me, i racked up the credit card debt when i had to half my hours at work to care for my son more, as his mental health means he cannot attend school (he is 16 now, has been out of school for a year).
Luckily, he is now getting PIP, but i have spent the last 12 months putting essential expenses on my credit card0
