A story of Mental Illness

JOURNEY OF HOPE WITH RODNEY MATHERS (mathersrodney@yahoo.com) » Journey of Hope With Rodney Mathers (147)

Welcome to this week's show!

My guest today has dealt with mental illness from without and within. Yassin Hall's mother struggled with schizophrenia as Yassin was growing up. The disease became more acute as Yassin  entered her fragile young teen years. Furthermore, as an adult, Yassin discovered she too had mental disease and her attempts to treat it with medication were unsuccessful. 

Never the less, this is indeed a story of success. Join me for my interview with Yassin Hall as she describes her victory over adversity. Learn more about Yassin and take a look at her book,  Journey Untold, Twisted Love, My Mother's Struggle With Mental Illness. 

Stop Worrying All The Time!

Hello!

Over the years I have enjoyed booking guests that have been down a rough road and on their own not only tackled their demons but have been organized enough to find a way to present what they did to others. Sharie Spironhi has done just that.

Sharie defeated mood and bipolar disorder after hospitalizations and years of medication yielded no positive results. She has shared how she did this through blogging for Psychology Today and writing a book:   Why We Are Wired to Worry and How Neuroscience Will Help You Fix It.

Today, Sharie shares her techniques with us and talks about how we can get past the things that cause ruminating worry and the related stress it causes in our lives as we fight toward reintegration.
