Our articles on wiseSOVA try to give you information on mental illness in adolescents and young adults in small pieces that is easy to understand. Sometimes, though, its best to learn about it through their own voices.
This video below from NAMI, Ok2talk.org, and SAMSHA – shares the story of a few young adults about what its like to live with mental illness, and how its not something that defines them, but something which makes them stronger. NAMI, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness, also has an easy to understand guide for families on what they need to know about adolescent depression.
