Living With Psychosis, Part 2 - Matthew Dickson’s Story (told to SZ Society of York) -Ep. 92
This is Part 2 - Matthew’s Story. Here is his bio:
“Hi, I'm Matthew Dickson! I'm a Canadian who helps people in developing countries get access to basic mental health care. I've suffered from mental health problems myself (schizophrenia). I bicycled across Canada when I was 20 in the middle of getting an engineering degree. But at 22 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It took awhile, but I successfully recovered from schizophrenia, and in 2023 I bicycled across Canada again, becoming the first person with schizophrenia to do so! Recovery is possible! Now I'm trying to help others going through mental illness, primarily in developing countries, as they have it worse than we do in developed countries.”
