Former Geelong Cat Simon Hogan | AFL Journey, Depression, BiPolar, Treatments plus more

Simon Hogan is a former AFL footballer for the Geelong Cats who retired at the end of 2012 after being diagnosed with a depressive disorder. However, this has only recently been changed to BiPolar affective disorder type 2. Simon chats about his journey so far and the battles he continues to face. We go into depth about his more recent diagnosis around BiPolar and the various issues that come along with the condition from two perspectives. One of those being a person who is living with the condition and our host's experience who grew up with a single mother with BiPolar type 1. Big thanks to Simon for his honesty and openness around his journey.
