‘I’m scared that one day mum will not be there to save me ’
A 26-YEAR-old Dundee man fears he will end up taking his own life if he doesn’t get the help he needs.
Grant Brady, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, has made numerous attempts to kill himself.
He has been taken to hospital several times, and both he and his mum Kelly now fear that without the right support he will become another tragic statistic. He has spoken out about his battle with metal illness to highlight the issue — just a day after making yet another suicide bid
Grant, from the Polepark area, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia more than a decade ago, and believes the bullying he was subjected to at school has left him with lasting psychological damage.
Over the past 10 years, he has selfharmed repeatedly and made 20 “serious” attempts to end his own his life.
On one occasion, he tried to hang himself, but was saved by his mum
