Chatting With Chandy - Men's Mental Health
Manage episode 315613893 series 3278722
In episode ten of Chatting with Chandy, I talk with Mental Health campaigner Harry Corin.
"At the age of 12, Harry lost his father to suicide. As a child, Harry felt a heavy burden on his shoulders - in his head, he could never rid the association of suicide. Much of this was caused by a blame culture that surrounded his father’s passing, a lack of understanding around suicide, and the way national newspaper articles reported the story of his father’s death.
As a result, Harry decided to hide his true life from everyone that he met. Harry created a fake version of himself, which meant that he never had to tell anyone the truth. This destructive cycle and facade continued for over a
decade.
Harry, now in his mid-20’s is determined that nobody has to suffer in silence. Harry openly reflects on his journey and the impacts caused by not opening up."
