The former Labour Prime Minister said that many issues simply represented "the challenges of life", rather than medical conditions such as anxiety or depression.

The number of people with common mental health conditions has risen in recent years, alongside greater emphasis in society on 'awareness' of such conditions.

Many people view this as positive, as people are more likely to take action and seek help to tackle mental disorders and stop them from becoming worse.

But some, like Blair, have warned that this has also resulted in some people 'medicalising' their mental condition, which they may otherwise have considered a normal part of everyday life.
