Description

Graeme Cowan joins us to share his journey of being clinically depressed and unable to work for 5 years. His psychiatrist described it as the worst case he had ever treated, and since finding the medication that works best for him, Graeme helped co found the “RUOK” charity, and is now a motivational speaker who shares his wellness tips with organisations and individuals.
