Flintoff: Stop using 'stigma' with mental health

Andrew Flintoff has shared his frustration on why the word 'stigma' should not be associated with mental health.

Talking candidly to Matthew Syed and Robbie Savage, the former England cricket captain says the continual use of the word 'stigma' with mental health does not allow people to talk openly.

"I genuinely don't see it as an issue to talk about now," he said.
