Podcasts about surviving mental illness

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. TODAY I have with me Matthew Dickson who developed schizophrenia silently and slowly in his life until it hit hard when he was 22 years old. Unwilling to let it steal his life away Matthew fought hard for recovery. It was painful but in his journey he learned we are capable of so much more than we realize. 27 years after his diagnosis he has recovered a good life, and champions others in their brave fight. Matthew shares encouragement, what helped him recover, and how he helps people in developing countries get access to basic mental health care through his platform Mind Aid. Bio: Matthew Dickson has successfully recovered from schizophrenia and has bicycled across Canada. He helps people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to basic mental health care through his Mind Aid platform. Mind Aid acts as a hub that steers people towards organizations working for the cause. These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable. Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, as well as Zak Williams (son of Robin Williams) and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics.

Surviving Mental IllnessIt is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.~ Leon C. MegginsonLinda Naomi Baron-Katz spent childhood as a modern orthodox Jew. However, mental illness presented an increasingly challenging set of variables throughout her life. It started with her mother when she was in the fifth grade. Her mother suffered a nervous breakdown with acute depression. This regression gave Linda and her family a tremendous amount of stress. As she was growing up into adulthood, her mother's illness affected her in ways that she feared she too would become a severely depressed person. In that challenging life context, Linda found difficulties making friends, developing positive relationships, and maintaining employment. After she graduated college, she also developed a mental illness and was ultimately diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her Recovery PlanThrough the years she was faced with challenges that were difficult to overcome but worked hard to achieve recovery. As part of her recovery from mental illness, she became active and volunteered for a variety of mental health organizations. Linda became a member of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness or formerly called National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) and published articles about her life in New York City Voices, a newspaper for people with mental illness to share their personal recovery stories. Both of these agencies helped fight against stigma and other issues about mental illness. UpdateToday, Linda is happily married, a Certified Peer Specialist under Ohel's Mental Health Crisis Respite Program, and is an author who has published a book titled http://geni.us/katz (Surviving Mental Illness, My Story). Her book won a Silver Medal Award by Readers Favorite for best non-fiction/autobiography and came in First Place and won the Life Journeys Award for best memoir/biography from Readers Views. Through her book, she describes all of her challenges that she dealt with while having a mental illness and how she found her way back towards establishing wellness plan by staying mentally and physically healthy. Her Perspective"I am the author of my own memoir titled Surviving Mental Illness, My Story which gives a brief description at the beginning of defining what mental illness is and background and treatment options of three particular mood and thought disorders. Then it goes on to describe resources and organizations that help promote your recovery. Afterward, I talk about my family's history of mental illness and how I became diagnosed with bipolar disorder and faced my fears of stigma and overcame the challenges in my life to make a successful recovery. My second book is a children's book, titled http://geni.us/ckatz (Peter and Lisa: A Mental Illness Children's Story), which I co-authored with my husband, is about how two people who like each other and face difficulties with their mental illness. It describes how each of them comforted each other and sought treatment and made their way to live happily ever after."

What's it really like for those among us who suffer from mental illness?   Linda Naomi Katz, author of SURVIVING MENTAL ILLNESS takes us inside that often frightening and always confusing world.   Throughout her life, mental illness has played a big factor.  It started when her mother was diagnosed with acute depression when Linda was ten years old.  Linda did not understand what her mother was going through but it caused major chaos for her and her family. Her mother's illness had an affect on her too. Throughout high school and college, Linda was depressed most of the time because it was difficult for her to make friends, develop positive relationships, and even get a part time job. At the age of 24 she developed manic symptoms and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.   As an Orthodox Jew, Linda had difficulty maintaining relationships with people, especially men. Every time Linda would disclose her mental illness, men ran away from her.  Through those years, Linda realized with the help of her psychiatrist and therapist that life was worth living and that she needed to find someone who could understand he mental illness. As part of her recovery, Linda is now active in the mental health field, as a member of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and has published articles in New York City Voices, a newspaper that helps fight against stigma and other recovery stories pertaining to mental illness.   She is now happily married, a college graduate, and continues her work as a mental health advocate.
