Richard Hendrie knows what it’s like to be invisible. In the grip of his darkest periods of mental illness, he became non-verbal, hiding behind hoodies, sunglasses and noise-cancelling headphones. At one stage, his condition became so severe he spent eight months in hospital. “I was just a ghost of a human being,” he says. So much so, the towering 198-cm Richard was actually referred to as “Casper The Friendly Ghost” during a stay on the psychiatric ward.
