Charles Mattocks and Dr Denise McDermott announce ‘Eight Days’ Mental Health Reality TV Series partnership.

Award-winning director Charles Mattocks has teamed up with Dr Denise McDermott to produce Eight Days, a groundbreaking new television concept following the lives of five people living with Mental Health issues. The first reality TV series of its kind, Eight Days is a look at mental health from a patient, caregiver and treatment standpoint. 

A continuation of Mattocks’ diabetes docu-series Reversed and Eight Days season one, that examined the lives of five diverse individuals living with different stages of cancer, and the experts who guide them on their healing journey. Eight Days takes a deep dive in mental health. 

“It’s a show unlike anything that’s been seen before, many around the world are dealing with mental health issues at record numbers, and with Covid-19, it has thrown people into a serious state of despair. The series will follow five people living with various stages of mental health issues and help break the stigma, as well as open eyes on what mental health is and what it is not,” says Charles Mattocks.

Through raw storytelling and an investigative format, Eight Days Mental Health aims to educate viewers and raise awareness for the almost 50 million living with this condition. From treatments, workplace, PTSD, minority mental health issues, to coping in a worldwide pandemic.  With millions undiagnosed, and many needing inspiration and awareness, the show’s relevant content and revolutionary delivery has the power and potential to affect millions of lives. The show will have a number of well-known advocates and experts that will make an appearance, such as female  boxing superstar Mia St. John, Jarnel Stokes, former NBA star and advocate who will serve as a producer, Antonio Tarver former boxing superstar will also make a guest appearance, Karl Shallowhorn as house mentor and many other well-known surprise guests.  Dr Denise will serve as lead Doctor, working hand in hand with experts and the five guests.
