An important note for this episode, there is some very open and honest conversation about serious mental health issues, and if you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or go to their website to find information. This number is for the US, so if you are in another country I encourage you to find your nation's number and keep it with you and look for available resources.YDFA's podcast shares the stories of those who are successfully living with mental illness diagnoses while breaking down the stigma surrounding diagnosis and shifting the conversation from Mental Illness to Mental WellnessFind more information about Keaton and his organization at:youdontfightalone.orgfacbook.com/ydfa7twitter.com/ydfa7
