0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Cuppa, boys, let's have a cuppa.

0:01:09 > 0:01:10- Depression.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14- An illness which leaves - no physical scars...

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- ..but for the sufferer, - it can excruciating.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- About two years, - I had a similar experience.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- An extreme bout of depression. - I'll share my experiences with you.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- We should grab every opportunity...

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- ..to raise awareness - of this important subject.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36- It's no surprise to anyone...

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- ..that when I found Mam - at the bottom of the stairs...

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- ..still warm, but dead...

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- ..the shock triggered the illness.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Looking back now, after coming - through the experience...

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- ..it's probable - that it had started years ago.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Mam was 91 years old when she died - and I'd been worried about her.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02- The snow of 2013 - put immense pressure on the farm.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Many walls - were destroyed and damaged.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- I'd felt for a while that - I was running around in circles.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- I didn't understand - what was happening to me.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18- I had this knot in my stomach - all the time. I couldn't sleep.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19- One night...

0:02:19 > 0:02:24- ..and this is when I realised that - I had to do something about it...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26- ..and ask someone for help.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I was lying in bed, - it was raining...

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- ..I could hear the river - flowing outside.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- I thought I can put a stop to this.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40- The way to do it was to jump into - that river and switch it all off.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46- I spoke to Catrin, - my partner, about it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51- I still haven't told Elan, my - daughter, she doesn't know about it.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- That first disclosure, - visiting the family doctor.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Farmers don't visit - their GPs these days.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- He'd never met me before.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I told him about the symptoms.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- I thought I had problems - with my stomach.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- He said the symptoms - were classic depression symptoms.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17- In the end, a solution was found...

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- ..and I can only thank the local - community and everyone around me.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- A lad living next door - started to call.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Another neighbour would phone - to ask what I was doing.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- He'd come over to help me - sort out some sheep.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- I'd do nothing most of the day, - the minimum possible.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Something else that happened...

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- ..and I have reason to thank - the National Assembly for this...

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- ..I was part of the Glastir scheme - and had to maintain stone walls.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- 250 metres of wall had to be - maintained before the end of 2015.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- I carried on with the work - and employed someone to help me.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Dermot O'Neill from Corris - came to help me.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I wasn't eating, - I didn't want to eat.

0:04:03 > 0:04:09- When your body's working, - your appetite returns.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- That returned gradually. - The energy returned gradually.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- People would call and say, - "Don't worry, I know what it is.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- "I had it when my wife left me."

0:04:20 > 0:04:22- The most unexpected people.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I realised suddenly - that this wasn't unique...

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- ..it could happen to anyone, - wherever they are, whatever they do.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Depression is a major problem - for men in rural areas.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41- The highest rates of suicide - are in the farming sector.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Emma Picton-Jones - lost her husband to mental illness.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- He was an agricultural contractor - from a young age.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- He was a tractor boy at heart.

0:04:51 > 0:04:57- He spent a lot of his youth driving - tractors and enjoyed himself.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- He decided to buy a digger - and wanted to go and work on farms.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Daniel had been suffering with his - mental health for a number of years.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09- It gradually got worse.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- It went in peaks and troughs - in the last few years.

0:05:12 > 0:05:17- On the 5th of July, my husband - decided to take his own life.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22- On the outside, it looked like he - had everything. It was a huge shock.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- It's had a massive effect - on all of us...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- ..but I decided - it couldn't have a negative effect.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- We had to make something positive - out of this.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I set up a charity to support - people...

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- ..who are suffering - with their mental health.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- The DPJ Foundation, - named after Daniel's initials.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48- We started last year by looking at - where we could spend the money...

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- ..to do some good in the - agricultural community right away.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- We set up - mental health awareness training.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- We trained 38 people who work - within the agricultural community.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- We gave them the tools to recognise - mental health illnesses.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- The other strand we're going down...

0:06:08 > 0:06:13- ..we're looking at the preventative - side of mental health...

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- ..and how we can support men - to give them the tools to help...

0:06:17 > 0:06:22- ..before they get to a point that - they make the decision Daniel did.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- One problem of living in a rural - area is the lack of expertise...

0:06:28 > 0:06:32- ..for mental illness, - something which I encountered.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Who do you turn to?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Dr Becca Stilwell is a psychologist - for the Hywel Dda health board.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Becca, is there a way to define - depression in a short sentence?

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Or is it something that varies - from person to person?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- There is a list of symptoms...

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- ..I'd search for - in someone with depression.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Their sleep patterns are different.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- The way they eat is different, - their energy is different.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- The way they think about things.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- They don't think so clearly.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Has the person changed?

0:07:08 > 0:07:14- What's useful to know is how someone - has changed over a period of time.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16- For me...

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- ..the frightening part...

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- ..was not being able - to understand what was happening.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- The knots in the stomach, - the feelings of panic...

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- ..not wanting to eat - because of the stomach pains.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36- I didn't want to speak to anyone - but I didn't understand what it was.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I didn't have a name for it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Not having a name for it - makes us panic even more.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Some people end up thinking - that they have a physical illness.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- That's the line that I follow.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- It was physical for me, initially...

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- ..and then I realised - it was all in my head.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- You have more negative thoughts...

0:07:59 > 0:08:04- ..your glass is always half empty, - never half full.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- There are changes in the way - we think.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- It's important to discuss - what's going on with your GP...

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- ..so that they can determine - the next step.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Medicines aren't for everyone...

0:08:17 > 0:08:23- ..but it helps some people - to find the kick to carry on...

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- ..and do whatever it is - that helps them.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- For me, as a farmer, something - was driving me out of the house.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Responsibility for the animals...

0:08:33 > 0:08:38- ..or the need to build a dry stone - wall for an environmental scheme.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- That pulled me out of myself, - to some extent.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Knowing that work is something - that's important to you...

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- ..not letting people down - is important to you.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- That helps find the motivation - to keep going.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57- For someone else, that would be - too overwhelming for them.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- To know that they had a wall - to build...

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- ..or that they had someone to help, - it might be too much for them.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- It's important to know the person - and know what's good for them.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Talking about mental illness...

0:09:12 > 0:09:17- ..and understanding what keeps - that illness there is important...

0:09:17 > 0:09:22- ..however we manage to help - that person understand it.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Back in 2015, Canon Eileen Davies - formed Tir Dewi...

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- ..which support farmers - suffering with depression...

0:09:34 > 0:09:39- ..or who have other concerns, that - live in the old county of Dyfed.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Today, Cogent are holding an open - day at Rhydygors, Carmarthenshire.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Eileen uses these events to spread - the message about the service.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Why did you establish Tir Dewi - in the first place?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- There was a demand - and there was a need.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02- For that reason, we decided - to bring communities together...

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- ..to give our farmers an answer and - show that we're there to help them.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- That's what's important to us.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- You're a farmer too.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17- I farm every day, I milk the cattle - in the morning and evening.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- I feel privileged to do so.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- By doing that, I understand - what farmers are going through.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- I love the life myself. - I know what pressure they're under.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- From the examples - you've already encountered...

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- ..is the situation - for farmers difficult?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Is depression a serious problem?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Most certainly - - there's a lot of loneliness.

0:10:42 > 0:10:48- A farmer can complete his day using - machinery and technology on his own.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50- He has no-one to talk to.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- That's the problem.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59- This loneliness can create - more sorrow for farmers.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- For me, when I had depression, - I realised at some point...

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- ..that most people need time.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- The improvement happens over time.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Most certainly.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16- For anyone who has depression, they - may have suffered for a long time...

0:11:16 > 0:11:20- ..without knowing precisely - what's wrong with them.

0:11:20 > 0:11:26- It's an illness surrounded by taboo, - especially in the farming industry.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Farmers think they are strong enough - to face anything...

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- ..but we'll be by that person's side - until they come through it.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- However long it takes, - we'll be there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:45- If I tried to sum up the process - and the solution for me...

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- ..and I feel fine now even though I - get emotional looking back at it...

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- ..there was a time when I thought - I had to end it all...

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- ..even though I knew - that Catrin loved me...

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- ..I had a 20-year-old daughter.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05- All these things that should stop - you thinking about ending your life.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- People around you, - that's what saved me.

0:12:09 > 0:12:17- I hope I can help others by talking - about this, right here, right now.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19- There's no need to hide it.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- We've hidden it too much, - we haven't talked about it enough.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- The problem for a lot of people is - they don't know what it is.

0:12:38 > 0:12:38- .

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- To guarantee - a sustainable environment...

0:12:51 > 0:12:55- ..it's important to conserve - our natural resources...

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- ..air, water, earth.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Pesticides are an important part - of every day life for famers...

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- ..but they can cause serious - problems for the environment...

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- ..if they're not stored, used - and disposed of correctly.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Meinir has more on this story.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Welsh Water has launched a new - scheme to encourage farmers...

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- ..growers and landowners - in specific areas...

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- ..to dispose of pesticides - and herbicides safely...

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- ..to safeguard water quality - and wildlife.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- The scheme we have right now - is a scheme called PestSmart.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- This includes pesticides.

0:13:36 > 0:13:42- In Welsh Water, we place an emphasis - on monitoring freshwater quality.

0:13:42 > 0:13:48- In some areas, we've seen - rises in the levels of pesticides.

0:13:48 > 0:13:54- That's something we want to monitor - and keep under control.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59- To reduce the risk to our customers - for drinking water quality...

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- ..we want to reduce the levels - of pesticides...

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- ..entering the rivers - in the first place.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Despite the rise in levels, - the levels are still low...

0:14:10 > 0:14:14- ..and pose a low risk - to people drinking the water.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What's appeal to farmers - and landowners?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- The scheme - makes it easier for people...

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- ..to dispose - of their pesticides safely.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- It will also improve - the quality of freshwater...

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- ..which will in turn - improve the environment.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- It also improves treatment works, - reduces costs...

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- ..and reduces prices for customers.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- It's a case of first come, - first served in this scheme.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- John Owen, manager of Gelli Aur, - has already registered.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- I've wanted to do it for a while, to - get rid of some of the chemicals...

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- ..we've had on licence.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Things change so often.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Things that are licenced - one minute...

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- ..aren't licenced the next - and you can't use them.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- It's a way - of disposing of those chemicals.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11- How difficult was it to dispose - of pesticides and herbicides?

0:15:11 > 0:15:16- We would have had to pay for a - company to dispose of the chemicals.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21- It's expensive. We've done it - in the past and it's expensive.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25- The scheme is free and confidential. - How important is that?

0:15:26 > 0:15:31- You might have illegal chemicals - that have been around for years.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- People would be worried - about letting others know...

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- ..they still had them.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- To that extent, it's a lot of help.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- People would feel - that there's no comeback.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Would you advise other farmers - to join the scheme?

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Certainly - there are benefits - for the environment...

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- ..wildlife and security.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- These chemicals - can be very dangerous.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- If they're not needed on a farm, - they need to be disposed of safely.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Natural Resources Wales are working - with Welsh Water on this scheme.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13- How harmful are pesticides - and herbicides to our rivers?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16- If they enter the water, - they can be very harmful.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20- They not only kill the fish but - they kill insects on the riverbed...

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- ..which feed the fish.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27- In terms of this scheme, - what's the benefit for you?

0:16:28 > 0:16:33- The greatest benefit - is reducing the risk.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- If farmers can dispose - of their chemicals...

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- ..some chemicals - they might not remember they had...

0:16:41 > 0:16:45- ..by reducing that risk, - they won't reach the river.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Which areas are part of the scheme?

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- There are six areas initially.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54- They're water catchment areas - of Welsh Water.

0:16:54 > 0:17:00- The Upper Wye, Teifi, Tywi, - Pendine, Alaw and Cefni on Anglesey.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- You must be within - those catchment areas...
