Overcoming Darkness: Adam Cartwright’s Journey Through Vision Loss & Mental Health

In this episode of The Black Country Blokes, Lee and Kev sit down with Adam Cartwright, who bravely shares his journey of vision loss, mental health struggles, and resilience.

In 2018, Adam began experiencing eye problems due to diabetes. After undergoing four unsuccessful surgeries between 2018-2019, he was left with only 20% vision in one eye. The life-changing impact of losing his sight led him into a deep battle with depression, ultimately culminating in a suicide attempt. But Adam's story doesn’t end there—he found strength, purpose, and a way forward.

Join us as we discuss the challenges of vision impairment, mental health, and the power of resilience. If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone—help is available.
