Episode: 4 Stigma Does Not Define Us – Antonio Talking about attempting suicide and how he managed to overcome after reaching out.
As a teenager, he went through a traumatic experience of mental illness – diagnosed with ‘Undifferentiated Schizophrenia’ & ‘Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder’. I now speak openly & honestly about my journey through mental ill-health & being hospitalised, without blame or shame. But also the hope & opportunities I discovered/am discovering on the journey.
In this episode, we hear Antonio talk about his own mental health recovery journey including, suicide and life pressures that he couldn’t see anyway out so one day he made plans to end his own life. He used therapy to help manage his mental health disorder and now he’s a voice and mental health activist.
These influential videos are become widely popular thanks to their raw nature, innovative content, and a vast variety of subjects. With the widespread issue of drug and alcohol addiction, it’s no surprise that there are a host of inspirational talks in the realm of drug addiction and recovery.
