<p>It is all too common when we think about stroke to see it as something that only affects older people.

Join entrepreneur, policy activist and father Piers Grove in the year after his own stroke as he puts the pieces back together, from the moment his stroke occurred, mental health challenges, to speech therapy to his journey back to work.</p> <p>Piers interviews medical professionals, world-leading researchers, other young stroke survivors and even his own family to explore how to ‘find’ your brain once more and to raise awareness of stroke occurrence in younger people. </p> <p>Australia's Stroke Foundation is a proud friend of 404: Brain Not Found.

<blockquote> <p><em>If you had something bad happen to you, I think everyone should be allowed to wallow for a while. I mean, God, you're allowed to be a bit upset, really - but I think many of us are very hard on ourselves, we expect a lot of things about ourselves, and we expect a lot of things about people around us, and so cutting yourself some slack can be really hard to do.</em> </p> </blockquote> <p>In this episode, Piers turns to Samantha Loi to get a psychiatrist’s opinion on how Piers was and continues to handle his stroke experience and recovery. They delve into the importance of seeking proper support, prioritising mental health, and being patient during the recovery process. </p> <p><strong>Featuring psychiatrist Samantha Loi.</strong> </p> <p>Australia's Stroke Foundation is a proud friend of 404: Brain Not Found.
