  • Summary

  • We talk with Will Hay discussing an early onset of a kind of epilepsy "Complex Partial Seizures" and what would be called autism today.

    He discusses his brain surgery, removing a part the size of a golf ball (!) , but that improved his cognitive function dramatically.

    We discuss suicide prevention, and how it has happened in other cases who were similar to Will, and his reliance on and support of his family.

    We talk about the necessity of reaching out and talking, and how the "tough guy" attitude simply does not work.

    We talk about styles of unhelpful thinking for example "All or Nothing", if I can't do it well it's best not to do it at all, Mental Filter - focussing on our failures not our successes. There are many - these are used in CBT, a common and effective treatment.
