Thank you so much for this video. Mental illness runs in my family and my mother especially struggles with it a lot. I also struggle with a few things as well. There's a stigma that comes with mental illness and I'm glad you're talking about it and bringing awareness to it.

I love this honest discussion about mental illness 😊 I suffer from borderline personality disorder and social anxiety. I've noticed that depression (depression happens to be a symptom of BPD) and anxiety seem to be handled better by society than less common mental illnesses like BPD. I think there needs to be more understanding which means people need to speak up about it more which is something I want to work on doing

I suffer from anxiety and I have had many panic attacks and I have suffered from depression. It's something that I never really talk about and something that people would not think about me because I'm so outgoing and social, but sometimes people don't know what's going on the inside and just see the outside.

Great, great points. I have intense anxiety and depression. It limits me way more than I would like but I have an amazing group of friends. They check in, they predict how I'm going to feel (and are always right) before I even know, they always know exactly what to do and they never ever make me feel like a burden. I have no idea where I'd be without them. A support system can change everything if you allow people in. Not everyone will know how to act around you but you will find a special few who get it. Moral of the story, don't lock people out. They WILL understand.

first of all these comments are killing me so, so softly. ok where to start, loving this episode, loving that it was sincere amir and not goofgoblin rolling his eyes and overpowering everything you say with some loud dumb remark excellent decision making as far as the production of this topic with both parties able to take it seriously and not consume air time with irrelevant stories ALSO i've totes been spiraling back down too and needed this. i was gonna go on some big spiel about how i clawed my way into the public mental health system and how it's so bad and horrible to deal with like not only do you have to acknowledge you have a problem but you have to be willing to fight to resolve it which usually a person who is depressed isn't even equipped to do it's seriously like going to the dmv and sitting there nine hours a day til you get on a waiting list for free meds and counseling but it eventually works and if u don't live in a party city your public health is prob way better and accessible SO get your help now while you still can before we all get sold to russian labor camps for pennies on the dollar but also i am speaking as someone who just barely gets it together to acquire and take meds on time and i should technically be in therapy now but haven't had it in me to fight the system to get my appointments SO. like it's a lot of work, they make it hard on purpose bc depressed ppl don't deal w red tape and it's easier to for the man to just keep u down mannnn. also gracie i'm sorry u had an attack over the wknd it was a full moon in scorpio so every1 went crazy girl nbd nbd gr8 ep guys

I had a panic attack recently the sensation was deep fear and being uncomfortable in my own skin I realized later on what had happened its important to breathe and do yoga to center the mind/body

I get eczema when I get anxiety and sometimes it comes out in very noticeable places on my skin and the fact that I sweat easily kinda makes me wear clothes that reveals more of my skin than I would like to and so I work on it alot trying not to worry too much about things

Please do a video about the Blue Whale Challenge!! Very important to spread awareness, whether it's a hoax or not!!! | Side note! I think it's great that mental illness is finally losing its stigma. I have bipolar, and there are times I still think I'm just bat shit crazy, and forget that it's not my fault I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. Talking about this is so important!!!

Thanks for this video. I have anxiety, depression and mild panic attacks. I've had them since my mother died when I was 12. I'm 29 now. I feel like I'm closer to the 2 of u now since we both have shared similar experiences.

I love the honesty in this conversation... very refreshing. Just by watching this video it made me realise why I gradually reduced my use of substances. I am not saying I was an unusually heavy drinker, just the normal university student getting trashed on weekends and smoking weed here and there but overtime I think I subconsciously began to see how it negatively effects my mental state and can take my mood from a 10 to 1. Still trying to work out coping mechanisms that work for me, but please, lets continue this conversation - it is so important! Thanks guys.

Good topic of discussion on a disorder that I have suffered from all of my life. I'm 62 now and content with life. It took many years of experimentation to find the medication that worked the best for my situation(major depressive disorder, anxiety and ocd). My paternal grandmother and my dad also suffered with mdd during their lifetimes. I've been told that there is probably a genetic predisposition for depression on their side of the family. So I am certain that I will continue to take medication for the rest of my life. I prefer not to be dependant on a prescription drug that ups the serotonin in my brain but I would rather take meds than suffer with that familiar decades old sensation of feeling that I crawled into a deep, dark hole that I can't get out of. It's a trade-off I can accept because of the peace of mind that I now have in my life. When I see young people suffering with depression, my heart goes out to them. I want to tell them not to self medicate with booze or illicit substances. I want to let them know that the right psychotropic legally prescribed drug is out there, although it may take a while before one of them is revealed to be the best fit for you. There's no such thing as textbook depression. That's why so many drugs for depression exist and more are being added to the list as new drugs are synthesized in the research lab. There is so much more hope that young people can be diagnosed and treated early on in life and not have to wait till they're 41 as in my case. Please believe me when I say that you will get better. We live in the age of 'better living through the miracle of modern chemistry'. It's not your fault that you weren't born with enough serotonin in your brain. But there is help out there in the form of prescription drugs, counseling, support groups, etc. It can be an arduous journey, but there will be people who will help you along the way. Peace.

mental health is awful. i spoke to a therapist a few years ago and thought it helped me, but 3 years later, i'm now on antidepressants from the doctor and in touch with different counsellors. this is after i left my career to go back into education to 'give me focus'.

my mental health is from issues from when i was 10 throughout my teen years. my doctor actually started tearing up when i went to him.

i smoke weed too, but idk if it makes me lazy or if i'm lethargic. i think i've been lethargic most of my life haha. i started smoking weed on the recommedation of an ex due to my insomnia, that was about 4 years ago.

if you can speak to a therapist. i couldn't speak to my family or friends for reasons, and opening up to someone that i knew could not betray me really helped. still not better, but at least i feel like there's support/plan behind me now.

It seems there are a lot of misconceptions that are driving people to disrespect mental illness and I want to try to clarify those a little bit.

Please remember that in order to be diagnosed with a mental illness, you have to have experienced the symptoms for a long period of time, and it must be interfering with your day-to-day life. These symptoms lie on a spectrum, so yes, everyone goes through times here and there where they feel depressed, anxious, etc... so if they're not experiencing chronic, negative effects of these symptoms, then it's probably just a part of their personality. I get why some are concerned about hypochondriacs, but if they really AREN'T suffering from a mental illness, then they'll be fine once they realize. In a lot of cases, people get pegged as being hypochondriacs, when they really just realized that they were suffering from that same mental illness and didn't realize it- because yes, you certainly can be suffering from a mental illness without knowing it, just like you could have seasonal allergies without knowing it- you eventually become so accustomed to the pain, that you are numb to your emotions. Some may try to argue that it's not going to help them to know there's a problem, because why fix a problem that's not bothering you? But that is where the danger lies. As soon as you have become numb to your emotions, you have become detached from yourself, which is the first step towards suicide. So please, don't yell at those who are trying to raise awareness for mental illness.

I wonder seriously if anyone is mentally healthy in every way.

I have been diagnosed with depression since the 80s and bipolar this year. it has shaped my character. I also wonder if it really is an illness or if its just a personality trait. no offense meant. just things I consider.
