This is Part 2 - Matthew’s Story. Here is his bio:

“Hi, I'm Matthew Dickson! I'm a Canadian who helps people in developing countries get access to basic mental health care. I've suffered from mental health problems myself (schizophrenia).

I bicycled across Canada when I was 20 in the middle of getting an engineering degree. 

But at 22 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia.  

It took awhile, but I successfully recovered from schizophrenia, and in 2023 I bicycled across Canada again, becoming the first person with schizophrenia to do so!

 Recovery is possible! Now I'm trying to help others going through mental illness, primarily in developing countries, as they have it worse than we do in developed countries.”


Ever wonder what psychosis feels like. From someone who has experienced it and now has the insight so many of our loved ones do not have?

We’re lucky to have permission instead to repost this recording from The Schizophrenia Society of York University in Canada.

SSY collaborated with the Schizophrenia Society of Canada (SSC) for this - their 4th annual panel event, "Duality of the Reality: Living with Psychosis." 

The purpose of this event is to hear real-life lived experiences and stories of success, hope, struggles and coping from individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and psychosis.
