(DJ Stav) “Having dealt with a few personal issues and recovered from depression myself I look at mental health in a very different way now, it can affect anyone, it holds no boundaries to age or gender!
To me the hardest part was accepting and seeking help, from a man’s point of view it was the worst case scenario for me as I felt like I had let people down,I feared I would be thought lesser of a man if I admitted I was feeling low and even worse still in my eyes thought people would think less of me, how wrong was I.
As soon as my family and close friends became aware of my situation it felt like a dark cloud had been lifted,
Through support help and advise from my doctor and family for the past 7 yrs now I am back to good health,Music has played a huge part in my life, DJing which I love takes me away from the day to day struggles of life which used to effect me, This is why I’ve decided to do this 24hr non stop mix to raise money for MIND which I think is a great charity working effortlessly to help anyone who suffers with mental health”.
