Here, Kevin shares his experience of meningoencephalitis

Kevin, from Manitoba, CA, shared his experience of meningoencephalitis at our ‘My Brain: My Story‘ event in October 2023. In 2019, Kevin was working as a Proctor when he became ill. The illness left Kevin with anxiety and several physical symptoms; noisy environments could easily become overwhelming for him.

The effects of encephalitis eventually led to him taking long-term disability retirement in 2022. Today, the amateur photographer spends most mornings at his favourite café doing homework set by his psychologist, listening to music and editing photographs.

Kevin’s lived experience was filmed and edited by Camren Friesen.
