1 in 5 Canadians will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lifetimes.
The other 4 will have a friend, family member or colleague who will.
The Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers family wanted to do something to help raise awareness for this very important cause. Remembering how important it is to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, we made this video to offer a moment's thought for those for whom every day is struggle.
We are proud to support the efforts of the Put Up Your Dukes Foundation, an organization started by a valued member of Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers firm.
We encourage you to share this video and consider donating to this worthwhile cause.

This is amazing, and also incredibly sad, because we're in the 21st century and there is still so much stigma surrounding mental illness.
I completely agree. I suffer from A.D.D and most people still do not understand.
Hasan Chaudhry AdHd over here, people think its just extra energy, and tell me to calm down, literally something out of my control.

Well said, we suffer from exactly this. The wealthy and big corporations love austerity because they can borrow money at zero percent interest and leverage buy out the economy. If you read about Thomas Piketty he adds academic weight behind that argument. The other side of the coin is the intellectual dishonesty of the other side that is seldom mentioned because of the mind war to keep debt bondage going.
The swear words are not necessary though maybe appropriate.

ok
+Kamelya Ozten simple cause there will always be resistance to what people dont understand
I wish my mother could understand
Octy same
I also want to show my parent this, but damn they don't understand English ;_; /rip
Same, my mom denied my clinical depression, thinking it was just a phase..ya, a phase that lasted for over a decade...for a few years, she even threw away my antidepressants...
I feel ya.
Cleo Wong I'm sorry. I know your comment is 6 months old. But I hope that you've gotten better. I hope we all can find someone to help us and someone who understands us. I hope you can help your mom understand, because I understand. I know this sounds cheesy, and you've probably heard it before but we need to stick together and stay strong.
Octy Welcome to where time stand still no one leaves and no one will. Dream the same things every night. I see no freedom in my sight. No locked doors no window bars no. Sleep my friend and you will see the dream is my reality. They keep me locked up in this cage. Sanitarium. Leave me be. Sanitarium. Just leave me alone. I cannot breath the open air. Whisper things into my brain assuring me that im insane.
"It feels like I am underwater, drowning." That's kind of how I have described it to people close to me. You are underwater, you can not draw a breath. All you can do is see the sun rippling above you and watch as it gets smaller and smaller, darker and darker, until there is nothing left to hope for.
+Kae Kelley-Ottobre If you are talking about depression, there have been some amazing results with the spice turmeric. It isn't for schizophrenia or related disorders. It seems to help some people who have depression and PTSD. Read up on it. There is a lot of information on the Internet. Even here on RUclips. You can make a point of using it in your cooking every day. Some people brew it in a cup of tea in the morning, but I don't know how much they use. My friend took about 1/8 teaspoon twice a day. Make sure you talk to your doctor. It can be a blood thickener if the doses are too high. It has amazing properties. It really helped my friends depression and flashbacks from PTSD.
So well described
People need to understand that mental illness is real and not something you can get over. You wouldn't tell someone with cancer to just "get over it".
Seems like some people need to experience themselves to truly understand what it is
THANK YOU!!
My work has labelled me with "anger issues" rather than Mentally Ill. The doctor on the company payroll never talked to me once.
I'm sorry
I got over my clinical depression, so yeah... it can be overcome. You shouldn't go around insinuating that getting better is hopeless to people. Some weaker minded person could've read that and jumped off a damn bridge ya know.
It sucks how people start distancing themselves from you once they realize you're depressed, or you've attempted suicide
I hear you. That's why I always kept my mouth shut, for fear that people would turn their backs on me. There is still a stigma against mental health.
There shouldn't be a damn stigma - I'm not afraid ! I'm bipolar
Hell yeah Especially if you've be diagnosed with bipolar disorder 😒People think I'll flip out on them. I'm not even violent, it's not my nature. I hope that people can stop listening to Hollywood when it comes to real life. Because the media tends to exaggerate things.
I always get closer to people who become depressed, and I offered so much help that it consumed myself.
I hate to say this, although you could help people getting out from it temporarily, you will never be able to solve the root problem for them. It is them, that needs to face and deal with it.
Many times, I was not thanked, and some times been hated for stop helping.
However, all that been said, I am still doing it until this day, simply because I could not stop myself...
true
I've had depression, anxiety, and borderline for the past 2,5/3 years and I wish my family would understand this
Crying right now. ='S
Don't give up us.
*****
Yeah you're getting a ban for that one jerk.
+Adam Ant dont give up !!!!!!!!!
+Chelsea R Pirate Adam Ant is a 80s New Wave singer!!
It’s their decision not yours. Unless you can better their lives, don’t guilt them into staying alive.
I have anxiety and this hits really close to home. I cry every time I watch it because I can relate to so much of it. It feels good to know that other people know how I feel sometimes.
I saw this at school, and it really got to me considering I know exactly what it's like. People will watch it and say "I know this already" or some shit, but really you don't. You don't know until you've experienced it - and you really don't want to.
I saw this at school too but school is what's triggering my thoughts of escaping
Sometimes, it's amazing to watch videos like these. I've been silent about my depression for so long and hearing that someone else is going through the exact same thing… it's helpful, to say the absolute least.
Woah this video is so powerful. Raising awareness to mental health issues is incredibly important and it's something I'm passionate about and something I try to do through my videos on youtube. You should never be ashamed for admitting you need help, in fact admitting you need help makes you that much stronger. Thank you for posting this video :)
STILL A FIGHTER SINCE 2007 !!!! i will never give up depression is a soul cancer !!!
I will be showing this video during a training session at The Dominion Theatre in London. It's a great resource to use. Thank you.
Thanks for the morning cry. Lots of love to those dealing with the black dog and those that love and support them.
The best video on depression that I have seen in a long while. Every time I watch, it still brings tears to my eyes.
This video gave me the strength to reach out and ask for prayers on FB. This could go horribly wrong for me if no one responds or I bring shame to my family.
Please hang in there. Life has it’s difficult moments & sometimes it feels like that for a long time, but nothing is ever permanent. Everything has its time & we can turn things around
this video was used in a presentation that won £3000 pounds for a charity helping people with a mental illness. :}
Do you know what presentation it was or who won it or what charity?
That's Awesome Cookie Monster! My family and I started Putupyourdukes in the hopes of helping others to get the treatment they need and helping to remove the stigmas associated with Mental Health. Unfortunately, we could not help my brother but we hope we can make a difference in the lives of others suffering from Mental Health issues of any kind. Keep spreading the word!
hey
I wish people around me will understand this. Sometime really feel so bad , I can't control myself. People around me don't understand . 😭
My gosh this is really all me
wish this would get ran nationally every day for a year
I 100% agree
I really love this video! I suffer from a lot of mental health issues. One thing I have that a lot of people don't understand is psychiatric seizures they may caused by severe PTSD and not medical but they are still real!
great video.
as a person who suffers from depression and AS syndrome, i can relate to this in more ways than one. i also enjoy how this spreads a good and not dehumanizing message about people who do suffer from his illness. unfortunately, there are some videos that dehumanize anyone with a mental illness/disorder.
The Asian lady is super beautiful.
+Riko Park She's from teen wolf :D
+Eliena Chan what's her name ?
18 78 she isnt
Oh I just got a case of the feels. This video jerked my tear glands into action
This was really empowering.
People don’t want to see beyond or even want to know at all.
In Nigeria, talks about mental health issues are not even taken seriously.
People see me as a smart , beautiful, jovial lady and see my disorder as a flaw or a divine punishment.
But I speak up every chance I get against the stigma because if we don’t who will.
Thanks for this wonderful video🙏🏽🙏🏽
Everyone matters the most. We need to care for our selves and each other more than any thing else. That's what love does.
Wonderful, honest and collaborative effort to raise awareness about the big elephant in the room.
I wished that in the coming Christmas and New Year, we will get to see such kind of informative and life-encouraging commercial on TV and Online in Malaysia. I'm LIKER 4405, a Malaysian with severe depression
WHOS WATCHING THESE VIDEOS IN 2021 WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD DOESNT UNDERSTAND ALL OF US BATTLING DEPRESSION, PTSD, AND ANXIETY
bravo. such a well made and inspiring piece of work. seeing such an impactful and moving campaign like this makes me feel really optimistic about technology's capacity to shift and challenge really ingrained ideas....great job.
Thanks so much for sharing!
I am doing a Social Justice math lesson with my class. I am also their health teacher. I have decided to use this video as a "minds on" discussion. We have had some discussion about mental illness and I think they will find the message in this video very powerful. I have shared it with my colleagues, hopefully we can help our students, our future generation, be more aware and empathetic towards mental illness.
I've been tortured with some kind of discureging angry feeling for about 19 years.
Its helpful to know that im not alone in this situation.i wish I could find a way thru this without causin others grief.depression is very real with me&I feel its gettin the best of me.surely theres a cure somewhere on earth.
This is a wonderful video, thank you.
"People who have nothing, give everything."-
I like this public service video. True, to the point, it seems like the people are not actors. Nicely done.
Awesome video it makes so much sense.
Despite the many attempts to "educate" through TV and newspaper articles, society at large is NOT enlightened with regard to most issues surrounding mental illness. People can be very slow to make changes in their attitudes and deeply ingrained prejudices.
Find strength in your healing process, feel validated in your struggle to be well and to function successfully. These things fulfill more than the quota necessary to be considered a productive member of this society.
Excellent video. Depression is not a normal part of aging. This message spans the ages.
-Audrey Miller
its time for mental health to be taken seriously. sorry to know so many people are hurting.
They're all wonderful people. I like the Be there as long as it takes woman.
i have some experience with mental illnesses since my mother is a doctor that works with children and teenagers with mental problems/ trauma and illnesses and my father works as a "psychiatrist" talking with people like this everyday. i can't put into words how important it is to be there for people that suffers from depression or other mental trauma
its true thank you for sharing.
Thank you
you are so Special thank you for this Videos
I'm bipolar and I'm real
krissygirl333 Same. I have bipolar disorder too.
Practice to say "I have Bipolar",refrain from saying "I'm a Bipolar" because it's just part of you,it does not define you.I hope you're doing well,fighting!
people with bipolar usually have been through a lot, so all I wish to say is don't go hard on yourself.
Sometimes, just let things go as it wants. Time will wash all the problems away, trust me...
just wanted to remind you that you have worth and you are loved. stay strong! xx
Pollyanna Welcome to where time stand still no one leaves and no one will. Dream the same things every night. I see no freedom in my sight. No locked doors no window bars no. Sleep my friend and you will see the dream is my reality. They keep me locked up in this cage. Sanitarium. Leave me be. Sanitarium. Just leave me alone. I cannot breath the open air. Whisper things into my brain assuring me that im insane.
Such a sad disease because the ones who have it can't see how beautiful they are.
i think I had it since i was in the womb. Ive always had problems that started really early but never gave it a name
Mental Health is a real issue. Stigma attached to it is making people less likely to seek professional help.
I was addicted to pills alcohol and had really had bed deperson but thinks Jesus and some great doctors i am to a lot better mental health is heath it should be really recognized just like cancer is
I kinda broke just now
I love this
Thank you will share on the Samaritans Suicide Prevention of Bristol county
End Mental Health Stigma....& change lives.
People need to see this. Depression, Anxiety, other forms of mental illness that don't "show" on the outside? They are every bit as real and debilitating as any other kind. It is just so wrong that anyone is treated like they have some kind of "problem" for being ill in a way they have no control over, as though they/we/I can just "Get over" it. But, I like to think things are changing, for the better, if slowly.
Great video
What's we re facing in 21st century would be more devastating in 22nd century if we not took a step of make a change take mental health issues seriously
so true
I feel like the walls grow spikes & it crushes you every minute & next thing you know it's not only cruising you but it's also drowning you. Or like one day u were walking then next thing you know u felt in a 100,0000 deep hole that u can't get out of!!! That's how mental illness feels like!!😢😢😢😢😢
PRETTY MUCH....AND THEN SOME...
"Don't give up on me". then I cried
Very true.
This, omg I love it.
Loved the video
Oke so i suffer literally from some stupid anxiety disorder which is literally OCD..Please give this comment likes to show me how many of you there are suffering from this. I'm literally so over this and my school also has been ruined. I just want to talk to some of you!
Man, I've got a terrible anxiety disorder, too. I can barely even leave my house. I understand you, Manuel Kazan.
Aubrey Perrin Hey Aubrey...thanks for your message...one thing you need to understand! Our mind is different and it is trying to keep us back from Jesus believe me, our mind works different...But don't lose hope, absolutely not, cause it wil be all ok, Just give it time...No matter what you have and how long it takes...stay strong! I had the same thing and it reduced a lot of pain

Salam alaikum
*Push yourself Connect yourself with the Book of Allah that is The Qur'an
Your depression would get treated*
Just don't think any other thing.
Just Ponder on the meaning of Qur'an. Read some portion of Qur'an daily with its meaning.
In Sha Allah
don't listen to songs. they will drive you into more depression sooner or later.
Allah can only help you with this and no one!
"You have to know history to appreciate the absurdity of the medical model" - Thomas Szasz
Fighting those addictions you want to do is very difficult.
I see things at night time, sometimes soming innocent, like my dog... but it terrifies me... and sometimes big black smudges with white faces... I have anxiety and I am scared of going to a mental hospital because I'm not going insane! I'm just scared... it feels like ghosts are watching me or something or even SOMEONE! It's annoying and horrifying to see.
Thanks @LadyASG that's what I meant
I'm borderline personality disorder extreme anxiety and clinical depression. Try so hard yet everyone still thinks I'm a loser. my cousin committed suicide sometimes I can't blame her. Even though it has nearlly doubled my sadness.
Same+obsessive-compulsive disorder here, 12 years and still going (started at 14). Besides medication (going to psyachiatrist), you need some strong passion in ur life to live (not just survive) in such a condition.
Yes, medication will give you some hope of stable existence, but everyday factors still may drag you down if you're not trying to improve at something or pursue some distant goal.
For example, i tend to write a lot of poetry (and need to start with prose at some point, i still hasn't decided on it). People with mental illnesses sometimes are gifted too, thanks in part to their disabilities (different brain chemistry).
Don't think of yourself as a loser on purpose, you have it hard as is already. Just do what you like and try to improve. You certainly will need some strong inspiration from other people (favourite artists, for example, or even your loved ones), so never stop searching.
I have it hard too in regards to thinking of myself as a "loser" and sometimes it does drag me down, but i simply comeback in a few days and continue to write.
As i heard, you need 10 000 hours of practice to be good at something (and practice regularly too). Experience - which is a result of learning from observations of your activity - never comes to anyone without failures, it's ups and downs.
I may understand if you're too pessimistic to look at things from my point of view - i'm pessimistic too by the way - but still try not to dwell on it too much and certainly not on something that other people say. Find out what is truly being yourself means. There is not that many people on this earth who are hopeless, i think.
I do dr wants me off them as they don't work jus started new pills
I can't stop thinkin for a second even my dreams are lucid n am insomniac. I don't care but there's somethin more to it?
To feel happy. What I see you don't see. End the stigma. So please
I have Panic Attacks if random boys/men that are over my age Scream, raise their Voice, Touch me or anything else. I got the Panic Attacks because i had a traumatic experience with older boys when i was 8 years old. And if a older Boy or a Man for example touch me i start to remember all those things and start to scream, shake, cut my Wrist, breath heavy and more. I already start to take pills just to calm me down because my Psychiatrist, my Psychologist and my Doctor couldn't find a way to calm me down. I hope i'm doing better in the future and find a other way to calm my Attacks down.
I have mental illness. I can walk, I have a job im 22 almost in a few more days on the (22nd), I am anti-social, I only work to help my mom, I don't care about life, I have paranoia, psychosis, extreme depression ( It varies) I have mood swings, Bipolar depression/Psychotic depression. The only thing that helps me is my metal music, believe it or not, when I listen to my metal music it helps me out so much, the bands even encourage their listeners, and yes bands can fucking save lives. I wouldn't be writing this article, because I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for my metal music, it keeps me alive and going!
Thanks for sharing, i really like what you have to say!
Wow very nice video
i hate it when ppl say "get over it" or "you just want attention" or "i geel you or "just be happy do things you like" none off the above i can do i dont have any intrest anymore. i feel depressed almost everyday the sadness of people thinking its just like a cold or a type of emotion is oberwhelming and the weight of a illness is overwhelming if you have depression or any other illness you know what most people feel normal people just don't get it....if you are faking that you know whats its like why dont you move on and dont try faking you understand the feeling. this is what i feel everyday when people say all this to me. and my therapist isnt helping either
Sometimes i feel this way too. I need to be heard, I need to express myself. I paint, and I write songs. Take care.
I have anxiety disorder and depression, and I can't tell my family because I don't want to talk to therapists, no matter what.
Perhaps a school nurse could offer support or guidance. Mental illness is best not left untreated. The internet is also a great resource for information. I hope this helps. Take care.
One of the comments above resonated with me (UK)...
... drowning...
I've been drowning for years
I wrote a poem about it in 1993
do we all have to drown for ever?
I hate everybody everyone keeps forcing me and ruining me
I love you .
that indian man is so adorable!
The curly blonde haired woman is also.
so ture.
this is spot on really important message
Depression is another word for bummed out.
deep
Can't see Jesus but He is really real and does help
depression sucks but it is not the only metal illiness I can be a danger to myself at the drop of a hat I need to constantly convice myself I dont have blood or vains I scare myself a lot and convice my self of impossible things and I just want to be normal
I love everyone and everyone is awesome, and I am fucking serious
So sad !!!!!! :(
Why when people think mental illness it's always depression. I'm sick of the generalizing. I have a mental disorder and am NOT depressed. It just makes me mad sometimes because it seems that the only mental disorders ever actually talked about it Depression and eating disorders. If you're gonna make a video on mental or psychological disorders then also try to target people with other disorders too? I don't mean to sound rude but these days when I say I have a mental illness everyone just assumes depression not OCD, panic disorder, and depersonalization
Mental Illness is an umbrella term for all those, its a better way to say what type if disease it is. Basically anything that has to do with the mind that effects the person's behaviour is part of it.
haha! I didn't notice the title of the video so I thought it was something along the lines of 'help the depressed'. saw your comment and checked it. what do you know does say mental illness.
If you love yourself you need to tell yourself that you love yourself. Otherwise you will be sorry
You see it the eyes
Can I achieve this? We will find out. This is serious, it's no laughing matter.
Welcome to where time stand still no one leaves and no one will. Dream the same things every night. I see no freedom in my sight. No locked doors no window bars no. Sleep my friend and you will see the dream is my reality. They keep me locked up in this cage. Sanitarium. Leave me be. Sanitarium. Just leave me alone. I cannot breath the open air. Whisper things into my brain assuring me that im insane.
🤕😭😭😭😭😭i am crying i wish i could get out
I just wish that i was a soul or ender water and nothing but that sound and nobody around me that's it
I suffer from social anxiety
I am mentally ill. I love go to school but right now I hate it because I don't have friends. When I'm in public, I feel scared and shy because I will always think that people will judge me and I also feel shy of them because I'm lonely and they have companions. 2 years before, I was a happy, cheerful and talkative. Suddenly it changed A LOT. Cutting is like a coffee to me. It's an addiction and I can't remove it. It's already 4 times. My confidence level always low to the ground. I also suffered from social anxiety and I hate to attend an event that full of people. Is rehab or theraphy the only way to kill this?
Micki C I've heard voices in my head NdI've done a test in the internet about mental illness in the internet and I've got 5 out of 10 so...it still can be saved right? Since you want to be a psychology, do you know how to overcome anxiety if you can answer it.
Lovaticw sorry I can't let anyone know about how to conquer this esp my enemy's. So I have to delete my comments.
Micki C It's okay. I just want to say thank you for ur reply. I hope you'll be a succesful psychology one day. What's esp?
omg i feel the same! 2 years ago everything was going right for me and then all the sudden i started having these repeated thoughts or images in my head. i talked to my family about my issue but they think i will just get over it....
Sky Samoyed Kinz hey I know I'm late but try to eat pill anti depressant pill.. it helped me a little bit...and one more just listen to social anxiety subliminal... it worked a little but better than nothing for me
My mom doesn't believe in mental illnesses just because it wasn't a big deal when she was younger. She claim all kids need to get "rid of it" is just a smack on the butt. If we saw MIs as we see diseases, there'll be a decrease in suicides and self harm.
It may not have been a big deal back then, but it is now. We don't need to get over it, YOU do. (If you think that way)
MIs aren't something that can just suddenly disappear with a hobby, walk in the park, time with family, social interactions, or a "smack in the butt". They're stuff that need time, effort, lots of it. It can be cured with patience, talks with professionals, pills, no stress or pressure.
It's not all in your head. It's not gonna pass easily.
Yes, some people use it as an excuse for not remembering things (Personally disorder), bad parenting (ADHD), hitting someone (PTSD), having a bad day out of an amazing life (Depression), not going out with friends because you hate them (anxiety). But for most people it's what actually happens to them.
This is what a lot of people are going through and people need to understand to function properly!
