- Legendary actor and mental health advocate Glenn Close is on a quest to change how we think about mental health, starting with her decision to speak out about her own family's struggles - a brave choice considering the stigma that pervades the topic. In a sweeping conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

We are just emerging from the Dark Ages of mental health understanding. I believe so much human talent will be unlocked in the future generations if we continue this path together
'The stigma of the disease can be worse than the disease itself'. So true.
Wow, I had no idea that Glen Close was a mental health advocate. I really appreciate how dedicated and passionate she is about this even when she (asaik) doesn’t suffer from it herself.
Her admiration, love and deep care for her family members and even _strangers_ who suffer really touched my heart. It’s beautiful.
❤❤❤❤
Glenn Close is one of the reasons I still believe in hope and change❤
I applaud Ms. Close, her family, and all those who work to better educate the public on the subject of mental illness. Fear and ignorance are only conquered through education and understanding. I wish her, her family, and all those suffering directly, or through association with mental suffering, a much better future.
I have PTSD, BPD, anxiety and depression. I lost all my friends. I have never told an employee because there is still stigma that lives on. The current mental health models to treat and help people need to change.
Dear Glenn, You are a kind human being and the best full-fledged and a gifted actress. I watch your movies more than once. First time watching the movie and second time just watching your amazing acting in the same movie. And today, in this Tedwomen program, I met another of your beautiful faces. I have this message for everyone. When you see someone disinterested and introverted, don't get upset and don't judge too soon. Maybe he’s/she's at war with himself/herself and doesn't know what’s going on in his/her brain/ mind. stop judging people. ❤
Glenn is the beautiful part of humanity. Dealing with mental illness is not a shame!
man i was waiting for someone to do this
As a person with ADHD, this is the mission I was born with!
Wow. kudos to Glenn Close. Much Respect.
Attention is vital, but medication is NOT always the answer. Especially with those who have ADHD. It takes a village, and it takes many points of view to come to the table. Thank you so much Glenn for your big heart... It's a life quest.
When I got my master's degree in Social Work I went to work in public mental health.
The people that I got to know were like everyone else.
What I came away with is that what was most appreciated is talking to someone who is not psychotic.
Assertive community treatment is fabulous for folks.
Thanks for sharing this useful content!!!
Healthcare for All
Great Work 👏
In a perfect world, mental health would be covered by public funds so that all who need it can get it, but that can also be deeply corrupted. So I guess the profit model to mental health will stand unless we can find a middle path somewhere.
She will not be ignoooored

Aaron was found on the doorstep of a Church deceased. A woman at my church told him never to return to church. One week later he killed himself.

one of the major issue is the bonding is fallen apart. Individualism is taken over the important individual personal care.
Unfortunately, getting help for mental health issues is still too dangerous in the United States. First there is the stigma obviously, but the less obvious is that you are put on a registry that can be used to incriminate you for offenses or even have your individual rights stripped from you, and you are also subjected to a variety of pharmaceutical drugs to treat whatever affliction that a doctor or therapist says that you’re suffering from which all have a variety of their own harmful side effects. I saved my own mother’s life from psychiatric medication, she was bedridden and couldn’t go outside or pay her bills because the prescribed drugs had crippled her with fear, self-doubt, and anxiety (and this is after being put through MANY of them to find the “right ones”). I was unable to save my sister from the sleeping meds they prescribed her. I also couldn’t save my brother (an opiate and pharmaceutical drug addict) from the 17 different prescriptions they gave him when he came out of rehab. These pharmaceutical companies and the doctors that operate as their agents of destruction have been murdering tens of millions of people with their “medical treatment” with impunity (just look at the Purdue Pharmaceutical’s case). My elderly mother is down to 1 blood pressure medication and 1 ADHD medication, and is living a much more functional and full life. There needs to be a more holistic approach to the foundations of mental illnesses that involves counseling, exercise, diet, job skills, education, and community relief. Once people start struggling we need to have a brake pedal we can put on the government/corporate pressure that sends our loved ones into an early grave. Mentally ill people can’t function normally and we need to have protections for them in place that stop the tax collectors, debtors, and HOA’s from trying to make them homeless and destitute; which just adds to their problems.
good post. the mental health industry is weaponized against the ones that need it by greedy corporations and a power hungry government.
My adopted son, Aaron committed suicide August 2017 at 19 years old.
😢 I’m so sorry for ur loss.
@@luceromanjarrez349
Thank you.
Im so very very sorry❤
@@bunglejoy3645
Thank you. I fought for his life. Finally my soul is at peace with his loss. It's hard returning to church, after the ordeal, and but I have been pressing way to worship God. I will never forget him, never. I'm writing a book about my experiences with him. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. We complained about the medications he was prescribed. He said the meds made him feel like a zombie in water.
So very sorry for your loss.
Keto diets helped me with mental health .
The teacher said "don't come back"?!?! Isn't that discrimination? - watch @ 10:17

The woman who is interviewing, is slurring her words. Quite badly.
TED talks has turned into crap.
Colossians 1:12-13
Giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins....
The irony of old people talking about today's stigma about mental health, they clearly haven't been on tiktok
We closed all of the mental institutions… now they’re just on the streets and making life worse for everyone.
People need help and everyone else should be protected from people dealing with mental health problems.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but sometimes empathy can be more harmful than helpful.
Mental illness, just like physical illness, has stages. People with mild mental health problems are treatable and of course, won't cause much trouble for everyone. However, it's the social stigma that could worsen their suffering.
@@elvytan4682 I’m talking about people with psychosis walking around cities defecting in the streets. While hard working citizens and their children have to walk around them.
It’s not cool.
@@KartsAndCoffeeive never yet seen anything like that maybe those people are homeless but ive never seen anything like that in daylight hours and it's not safe for anyone to be out in dodgy areas late at times when you might see that type of thing most mentally ill people are like you and I dignified respectful I have severe mental health isdues and never have put a foot wrong never will and has for defecating, even the worst mentally ill people have pride when it comes to those matters, most people wouldn't know I had anything wrong eith me I keep my personal cares private as did the many serious mentslly ill ones I was in hospital with for 8 month, being treated right by people is what we crave ,so we wouldn't do anything like that before uou say these things you need to have examples to back them up
