Confessions of a depressed comic

Writer, comic and mental health activist Kevin Breel speaks up about depression. As a teenager, Kevin Breel almost took his own life. His story, so powerfully told in his viral TEDxYouth Talk, gives voice to an often silent struggle and offers a message of hope. Breel now speaks out about his own depression, with a mission of helping kids his age realize they're not alone.

The talk focuses on depression, but also applies to the larger issue of the societal stigma surrounding mental illness.
