Autorenporträt

After 35 years of battling serious mental illness, Ali was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder II. An established television presenter for more than 20 years, Ali presented the national news, made history by becoming the first woman to present football's Scottish Premier League, and featured in countless newspapers and magazines.Despite her outwardly glamorous and showbiz lifestyle, Ali was secretly fighting wild mood swings and devastating depression. At her lowest point, she came dangerously close to ending her life. Holding down such a high-pressure job in the public eye, along with her everyday fight against bipolar, took its toll, and she turned to drugs and alcohol as an escape. On eventually receiving an accurate diagnosis, Ali's life changed beyond recognition. Since her diagnosis, Ali has forged a new life for herself, with her boyfriend, "Handsome Doc", and her son, MK.
