Ep66: A World of Flying Glass: Understanding Schizophrenia (Ft. Matthew Dickson)

Not often a few boys from Charlotte County get to sit down and get into the nitty-gritty of mental health but luckily for you, today is one of those days. This week on the podcast I'm joined by fellow mental health advocate Matthew Dickson to talk about schizophrenia and the experiences he's had living with the disease for nearly 30 years. There are some laughs, some parts that are tough to hear, and definitely some times that will make you re-evaluate so much of what you think you know about schizophrenia. This episode is an ode to all those who feel alone or that there is no one around who understands what you're going through. A beautiful episode filled with beautiful stories. A very human episode that I'm hoping you'll get as much out of as I did. Kick back, relax, and let's learn something today.
