Tanya said her brother was loving, and family orientated, but things changed because of his illness
The sister of a Co Antrim man who took his own life last year has spoken out in hope that it may help another family in turmoil.
"That led him to have serious mental health problems. In the last year of his life, he had about five attempts at suicide. I want to raise awareness for this, he had an overdose and was taken to hospital by ambulance. I cannot talk badly about the mental health team, because they have done a lot to help me, but Ryan went to A&E and when he said he was fine, he was back out again.
"We also got Ryan into rehab for a two week programme, but you could have walked out freely at any point. I think that you should have to stay, whenever you sign that contract. Ryan walked out after two days, he ran away from it. Tanya is now hoping that by speaking out about her brother's trouble, she may be able to show other's that it is ok to talk about problem you are going through, no matter how big or small.
