Men's Medicine - Second Dose

 



MEN'S MEDICINE - SECOND DOSE
SHOW NOTES

Today we have a special episode - a friend of the family shares his story of mental illness, rock bottom and suicide. I met Fatz when I started dating my husband. He was a fellow footy player who had just returned to Sydney after an incident had occurred in the UK. I didn’t know exactly what happened back then but I knew his close circle was really worried. It was serious. Today Fatz talks about where his mental illness started, how he spiralled and at what cost.
Content warning: this episode discusses: suicide, drug abuse and sexual abuse. Help services can be found below:
