Mental health is a challenge for anyone, but for men it is stigmatized even more. Arco has Schizophrenia, he has had it since his 30s, he has been heavily medicated to the point of feeling like a zombie, it sucked! He is currently unmedicated and doing very well, sees a therapist for talk therapy and lives a healthy active life, clean and sober. Clean and sober is key! When you have your wits about you it helps immensely to delineate what is real and what is your head. There are some great medicines on the market and wonderful therapists as well. If you are struggling and need help, go for it! Get some help, do what you need to live your best life! It is totally worth it, I promise!!!
Much Love,
Arco & Heidi

Hey Arlo and Michelle!
it is good that you can talk about it Arco. that helps you and others with dealing with problems more people need to be open with their health
I appreciate you putting out a message on positivity, and appreciate it even more that you are willing to talk about mental health. For some reason we as men are taught that tough is not having those things or not talking about it if you do. I don’t have schizophrenia, but I do have Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder which prevents me from doing a lot of things. I’ve been trying to fish a little more lately and learning how to weld to keep my mind busy. That’s actually how I found your videos a couple months back. Just looking for tips and inspiration. Keep making these great videos and continue to stay positive man.

Cool hanging in the shop bro! My mom had schizophrenia and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Take care bro!
Words of wisdom and truth right there👍
Hey man I know what you are talking about. I suffer from depression and some days I feel what's the use of keeping fighting. But we need to keep a stiff upper lip and put a smile on and get it done. Thanks for sharing.
I think people are getting better at trying to understand but nobody will really get it until they live through it. We may think we get it but we don't know what we don't know.
I had a feeling fire and a BFH were going to come to the rescue…… never be embarrassed to “talk” about things…. we all suffer from some kind of stuff 👍🏻
Canadian kid (Winnipeg) that loves your videos man keep your head up
Takes a lot of guts to share that. Rock On!!
