Description
Warning: this conversation will talk about mental health and mental illness
When the career of coal miner-turned ABC sports broadcaster Craig Hamilton was taking off, "mental health" wasn't something that crossed his mind.
In the year 2000 that changed, after a psychotic episode at a Newcastle train station on his way to cover the Sydney Olympics.
In the last quarter of a century, he has chosen to talk and write about his experience in the hope that it would change the lives of others.
Guest: Craig Hamilton, mental health advocate, former broadcaster and author of Broken Open and A Better Life
