Flo Sharman and the Impact of Trauma on Mental Health

In this episode, Professor Rory and Craig spoke to mental health campaigner and MQ ambassador Flo Sharman. 

At four months old, Flo had a life-saving operation which caused her to stay in the hospital for several months. At age eight, Flo had a sudden mental breakdown that temporarily caused her to go blind and be paralysed. Only years later, she discovered that this breakdown was due to the trauma she experienced early on in life.

In this fascinating conversation, they discussed the impact of trauma on mental health, finding the correct treatment that fits your needs, and how to support young people with mental illness.
