🎙 In this week’s podcast conversation, encounter how a young, motivated A-star student with aspirations of going to university, suddenly crumbles as he woefully develops schizophrenia.

➡️ Knowing that there is no guarantee of getting better heightens his fear of recovery, and later manifests into a deep depression and anxiety - leading to him taking medication for years.

➡️ Recovery was painfully slow and long. However, he opted to utilise his love for reading as a strategy to give him relief and hope. Being confronted with a mental illness in the 90s, sadly meant that he was unable to open up to anybody on a subject that was considered taboo.

💡Experience how he candidly shares his journey to recovery. What strategies does he utilise to help him to bounce back after 27 years of living with schizophrenia❓
