I am 1 in a Million

Most people keep mental disorders like Major Depression, PTSD, and Social Phobia a secret, because they fear being—

• Rejected by family & friends
• Harassed
• Fired or not hired
• Denied child custody

So far, attempts to end this discrimination and fear have been led by a few strong individuals. But strength also comes in numbers. Every year, 50 million U.S. adults have a mental disorder—if just one out of every 50 admits this, without shame or embarrassment—

• Others will learn that mental disorders don’t come from personal weakness, and don’t make people violent or unpredictable.
• More people will feel comfortable seeking treatment. Two thirds of people who need treatment don’t ask for it.
• We will help each other stand up to discrimination.

So, if you have a mental disorder or illness—

Join anonymously. Wait for 999,999 others. Come out together, one million strong.

Draw That Beast

Winston Churchill once famously referred to his “little black dog” of depression. He imagined depression was just like a dog - loyal and steadfastly by his side through life. The imagery stuck and continues to be the mascot in popular culture for depression.

But what if depression could be imagined in another form? How would depression look to you? Would it be a he, she or gender neutral? Would it be animal, vegetable, mineral? Or would it be intangible, like an image or moment in time?

This is an interactive online art project and not-for-profit. It is a chance to observe and give form to a condition that goes to the very core of the human spirit.

In time, I hope this blog also becomes a space for understanding. Depression is nothing to be ashamed of or to hide from. It does not reflect personal failure or defect, as it can happen to anyone at anytime.
