Montel Williams is an American television personality, radio talk show host, actor, and author. He was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis in January of 1998. He experienced 80% of his left eye vision being loss, depression, and balance issues. In addition, Montel is often very fatigue and has a lot neurological pain. Due to his depression, I learned that Montel tried to kill himself twice. Montel has a hard time with being comfortable with himself. He is often sadden by the fact that he can't be the family man that he wants to be. He has a loving wife and 3 children. His family is his greatest motivation because he still wants to be there for them. Occupational therapy is recommended to teach Montel ways to conserve energy throughout the day, pain and stress management, and rom/endurance/ strengthening for desired activities. A priority for Montel would be as independent as possible and still be able to maintain his day job as a TV host.
