Today is World Schizophrenia Day. Look Again is revisiting four of our most popular episodes. The first one in this revisited series is a conversation with former NHL goalie Corey Hirsch.
At 21, Corey Hirsch was living the dream: goalie for the silver-medal-winning Team Canada at the Olympics and Stanley Cup-winning New York Rangers. So, why was he contemplating suicide?
In this unfiltered conversation, Corey talks about his silent battle with mental illness, which included experiencing intrusive thoughts and severe depression. His story is a must-listen for understanding that mental illness struggles often go unseen, even for those in the spotlight. And that it is possible to emerge out of the dark corners of despair.
Follow Look Again to hear stories like this one that sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of those living with mental illnesses. Until then, share your thoughts with us here. Leave a review so others can find our show.
