Living with Mental Illness

Jeff is proud to share he is diagnosed with mental illness. He proudly lives with major depression, bi-polar type 2, and PTSD. At 49 years old (2020), he says he is more aware of who he is than ever before. He’s having more fun in life than ever. He is a better speaker, more present, and more passionate about life; and he credits all this to getting to know himself through therapy, being on medication, being a yogi, and doing the work everyday.

Please continue working in your communities because mental health needs to be addressed without people feeling ashamed or stigmatized.

Educating yourself about it can make it understandable, treatable, and manageable.
