Ep. 25: The Invisible Illness

What happens when you are suffering from an illness that no one can see? When a friend or family member is diagosed with cancer or has a stroke, we can see the physical manifestations and everyone rallies around that person with support, but the same does not hold true for mental illness.

Mathew Blades was at the height of his career as a radio and television personality when he began having constant back pain, then shingles and finally a series of severe panic attacks. The last panic attack was so severe, Mathew was positive he was going to die. When the ER doctor said "there is nothing physically wrong with you", he knew it was time to make some drastic changes in his life and he walked away from the life he knew to address the generation trauma and lead a life of purpose.
