I wanted to share this talk in support of Mental Health Awareness Week.

Last year I did something that terrified me. I stood up in front of a bunch of people at The Do Lectures and talked about depression and the relationship between my mental health and social media.

Please feel free to leave a comment talking about your own experiences with mental health and your thoughts on social media. Let's start a conversation!
