Just months ago, Matthew came to The Doctors seeking the help he needed to finally turn his life around after losing both his legs due to his heroin struggles and battling years of substance abuse. He’s back to share his new mission in life.

Looking back on his appearance on the show in September, he saw himself as “a complete zombie, someone who was completely disconnected from life.” “Now, I feel full of life. I’m driven. I have goals that I’m trying to accomplish,” he shares.

…instead of listening to my iPod in treatment today, I had a fabulous, random conversation with Tracy (the amazing tech) at the treatment center. I have to say – every single person I’ve come into contact with there has been incredible! They are helpful, polite, understanding, efficient – just wonderful people. Anyway, Tracy and I were just gabbing about all kinds of things, and then before I even knew what happened – I was done! I love conversations like that – especially when you feel like you’ve had a meaningful, understanding conversation with someone that is unexpected. Tracy – thank you! You Rock!

Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. During the month of May, we want to bring awareness to mental illness. We fight to erase the stigma and work to educate the public and advocate for equal care. Each year, the movement grows stronger. In 2013, President Obama proclaimed May as National Mental Health Awareness Month and brought the issue of mental health to the forefront of our nation’s thoughts.

We believe that these issues are important to address year round, but highlighting these issues during May provides a time for people to come together and display the passion and strength of those working to improve the lives of the tens of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
