Episode 23- Tom Robinson: It is possible to recover from severe mental illness

Tom, a writer, blogger, qualified journalist and former international horse rider who once represented Great Britain in the sport of Three-Day Eventing, shares details about his twenty-year battle with crippling depression and severe bipolar disorder. His self-described “psychiatric safari” disrupted his life immeasurably, attacked him both physically and mentally and, ultimately, took every ounce of perseverance and determination to survive. Today, he’s in full remission thanks to a novel treatment and bibliotherapy and he’s once again riding horses. Tom is also acting as an empathetic ear through peer support and writing and blogging daily about his journey on his website dyingtostayalive.com.
