In this powerful episode of "No Hair Just Finance," we sit down with Brendan O’Sullivan, who bravely shares his journey through a deeply challenging time in his life. Brendan suffers from a debilitating condition that made it nearly impossible for him to sleep, leading to significant personal and emotional turmoil.
In the 2000s, Brendan was prescribed a drug to manage his symptoms. However, what he didn’t know was that this medication had severe psychological side effects that drastically altered his personality. The consequences were devastating, ultimately leading to the breakup of his marriage.
 Brendan's story is not only one of personal struggle but also of a fight for justice. He was part of a class action, holding a pharmaceutical giant responsible for the financial loss and suffering caused by their failure to disclose these side effects. Although the pharmaceutical company initially agreed to a settlement, they later took the case to the Federal Court, where the parties received no compensation, despite some having lost millions.
 Despite the hardships, Brendan's journey is also one of hope and triumph – slowly piecing his lift back together. Through extensive personal research and with the help of doctors willing to explore unorthodox treatments, Brendan has found a way to control his symptoms and reclaim his life.
 By sharing his story, Brendan aims to provide comfort and guidance to others who may be suffering similarly.
This episode is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by those affected by such conditions and offering a pathway to treatment and justice. Tune in to hear Brendan’s courageous tale and learn about his ongoing battle for health and justice.
