Peter Andre has opened up about having struggled with his mental health in the past, with him encouraging others to reach out and seek support if they're in similar situations.
The singer, 49, is "so grateful" for the annual "reminder" of Mental Health Awareness Week, with him commenting that he has "struggled greatly with this issue in the past".
He explained that his remedies have included medication and therapy - though he has reminded that there are "many different ways of combating mental health problems".
The I'm a Celebrity alum said that when he's having an "off-day" he turns to exercise to relieve his anxieties, with him issuing this as his "main tip" for those looking for advice.
Peter shared the advice in a column for New! magazine, stating that it doesn't need to be a full workout, but could instead just be a walk, as reported by OK! magazine.
"I find that moving my body is fantastic for keeping my brain away from things that get me down," he said, though acknowledged that he had used other methods in the past.
He explained: "In the past, I've also turned to therapy and medication to cope with mental struggles. [...] Not everyone agrees with [them], but I found both helped me immensely."

The father-of-four further commented in the new column that medication allowed him to get "into the right frame of mind" to talk openly about his problems in therapy.
He added: "My point is, there are many different ways of combating mental health problems. What works for me might not work for someone else. The first step is reaching out."
Peter said that although it's a reminder, people should try to remember to focus on taking care of their mind at other points of the year, not just during annual awareness week.
He concluded that the same applies to someone you know who may be struggling, encouraging: "Let them know they're not alone and there is an abundance of help out there."
Peter had said in the column that we need to raise both awareness and funds, with him commenting that the later would support treatment and research around such.
