  • Fake Mental Health Influencer

    This guy is a mental health influencer who is trying to monetise mental health issues for personal financial gain. We need to hear from real people with actually mental illness challenges like those with Bipolar, Schizophrenia etc. People who have actually been in the system and know what happens. This is all done to build a personal brand using mental health for personal financial gain. He has no idea. Far better and more genuine stories out there from people with actual serious mental illness ... more

    Excellent interview from Mitch and Jad.

    Listening to this interview Jad seems very self aware and mentally strong.He doesn’t see mental strength as a character trait, rather more a state of mind (and one that fluctuates).His background, personality, parents, family, faith and love of food have shaped his determination to work hard and succeed. It would be interesting to hear how his session with a therapist goes.
