S13E13 Jamila Risvi: "My brain tumor is the reason I have more..."

Jamila Risvi was 31 when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Confiding in friend Rosie Waterland, who’d suffered PTSD and depression for years, the friends found the way they were supported in their illness varied greatly because of a perceived distinction between mental and physical illness. In their book 'Broken Brains', Jamila and Rosie walk us through their diagnoses and the nuances of the medical system, while revealing the effects of illness on our family and identity.
