Amanda Gibson was suffering from bulimia and depression and was given electric shock treatment or ECT.

Prescott, who also suffers from Type 2 diabetes, said he has not suffered from bulimia for over a year.

She has spoken in the past about suffering from bulimia, taking hallucinogenic drugs and being abused as a child.

Schwikert eventually suffered from bulimia for a decade until she was determined to stop in the fear that it would kill her.

Mr Prescott says he began suffering from bulimia in the 1980s, when the pressure of being in the Labour shadow cabinet became overwhelming.

From the ages of 19 to 28 she suffered from bulimia and it would take therapy later in her career to address those problems.
