He discloses the importance of researching and understanding your diagnosis and how medicine does 50% of the work, but you have to do the other 50% of it. Through researching his diagnoses, he became empowered to live well in spite of them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone facing a serious mental health diagnosis will be greatly encouraged in hearing Thomas&rsquo; journey to living well in spite of a mental health diagnosis.
