About this episode
Matt Keenan was misdiagnosed with depression and put on medication that made things worse. He was actually dealing with Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
That experience — of being failed by the system — led him to retrain entirely. He's now a CBT, NLP, and Hypnotherapy practitioner and life coach, and he founded The Anxious Lad Mental Health Company to give other men the kind of help he couldn't find. He also delivers Suicide First Aid training.
This episode covers what happens when men get the wrong diagnosis, how CBT and NLP actually work, and why anxiety and masculinity need to be talked about in the same breath.
