The Bravery Of Surviving Mental Illness, Recovery, And Helping Others (S2:Ep154)

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. TODAY I have with me Matthew Dickson who developed schizophrenia silently and slowly in his life until it hit hard when he was 22 years old. Unwilling to let it steal his life away Matthew fought hard for recovery. It was painful but in his journey he learned we are capable of so much more than we realize. 27 years after his diagnosis he has recovered a good life, and champions others in their brave fight. Matthew shares encouragement, what helped him recover, and how he helps people in developing countries get access to basic mental health care through his platform Mind Aid.

Bio: Matthew Dickson has successfully recovered from schizophrenia and has bicycled across Canada. He helps people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to basic mental health care through his Mind Aid platform. Mind Aid acts as a hub that steers people towards organizations working for the cause. These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable. Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, as well as Zak Williams (son of Robin Williams) and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics.
