It comes after at the end of last year Frankie candidly opened up on her ongoing health battle during an episode of Loose Women.
She has always been open about her struggles with depression that resulted in her being hospitalised in 2011 after reaching ‘rock bottom’.
She appeared on the panel alongside Judi Love, Charlene White, and Nadia Sawalha, as the group discussed the news that Roman Kemp has stopped taking antidepressants for the first time in 16 years.
Drawing on her own experience, Frankie explained: ‘I started taking antidepressants when I was about 18 and I still ended up in hospital when I was about 21 with really bad depression and anxiety.
‘It’s one of those things for me where they work to a degree in that I’m able to get out of bed in the morning and I’m able to come and work and be present with my friends and family.’
She explained that she has ‘treatment-resistant depression so actually the antidepressants don’t really work’.
The singer added: ‘I’ve had like tests done and my body isn’t able to create serotonin or to keep it.
‘So even if I’m taking antidepressants it’s almost counter productive. But because I’ve been on them for so long for now the fear of coming off them is really scary because I’m like would I end up back in hospital again?

Another look saw her show of her sense of style in a white top and black skirt
She also headed out to dinner in a sheer brown top which she wore with high-waisted denim jeans
‘I’ve got children now, a husband. I’ve tried a lot of different ones and I’ve tried different combinations of different antidepressants and things like that.
‘So now I’m constantly trying to think of different things to try so I’ve recently tried ketamine treatment which has been really effective for me but it’s really expensive, it’s not available for everyone.’
Frankie admitted: ‘That was a really big deal for me, that was really scary for me. I’ve taken myself off of antidepressants before and the side effects of coming off these things are brutal.
‘I spent two weeks in bed, I felt awful. It’s a really good message to say to people that you can obviously give it a go if you feel ready but you have to do it with a doctor because it’s not that easy just to go right, I’ll stop.’
