In 2000, respected sports broadcaster Craig Hamilton was hospitalised after suffering a public psychotic episode. He was later diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder, challenging himself, his family and employer. The experience was traumatic, but encouraged Craig to speak up and challenge the stigma associated with mental illness.
He believes there are two types of people, those who think they will never be affected by mental illness, and those struggling in the midst of it. Craig Hamilton has been in both groups. He has written two biographies documenting his journey and spoken across Australia, discussing the depths of his illness, depression, suicide, men’s health, campaigning for increasing support for those suffering and becoming one of the nation’s leading mental health advocates.
