If you’ve got a brain and a blood supply, you’re susceptible to mental illness; it doesn’t discriminate.
Kevin Humphreys was a military combat pilot and commander, who now as a civilian rescue helicopter pilot, flight instructor and examiner has a powerful message about mental illness to share.
Flying Blackhawk helicopters by age 21, Kevin would go on to complete several deployments in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan plus humanitarian operations in Papua New Guinea. Towards the peak of his military career he contemplated suicide and suffered a breakdown due to PTSD, depression, anxiety and bullying.
Whilst a drive in the backstreets of Baghdad bought on PTSD, it was the isolation of leadership and a workplace with a toxic bullying command environment that triggered Kevin’s depression, anxiety and ultimately his breakdown and suicidal ideation.
Tune in as Kevin takes us on the recovery rollercoaster that involved the power of visualisation and reuniting his head and heart, in what he describes as the longest journey one will ever take – but a journey well worth the effort.
