At first glance, champion weight lifter Rory Girvan appears to have it all … he owns and runs his own Belfast city centre gym, Hench, which has produced a string of world-class sportsmen and women, he is a successful athlete in his own right and has a devoted girlfriend. But Rory (30) has fought a lifelong battle with depression, during which time his weight ballooned to 17 stone, he hit the bottle and would often lie in bed for days wondering if he would ever be happy or enjoy life again.
