What are the effects of stigmatizing people with mental illness? Could destigmatizing mental illness help those who suffer? In this interview, we discuss these issues with John Nieuwenburg, who after attempting suicide now courageously shares his story about how he has battled back from depression. What’s inspiring about John’s story? Suicide and Mental Illness are stigmatized and painful for everyone who is affected. Depression is a silent killer. Partly because of the stigma attached to it. Our society will help people with any number of physical ailments. Yet the same people view mental illness with skepticism or suspicion or, uncertainty and distrust. Mental illness should not be a secret. Let’s change how we treat and view people with a mental illness. My hope is that suicide and mental illness are destigmatized and the misery they cause diminished. For John’s Inspirational Quotes and Notes Visit http://getinspiredtalks.org
