Finding Mental Health

Delaney talks with Jessie Close, who alongside her sister, actress Glenn Close, founded Bring Change 2 Mind, to fight stigma surrounding mental illness. Jessie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 45 and recalls that “even with so much evidence I didn’t want to believe I had a mental illness. I thought maybe I was faking it.” She discusses the devastation her illness caused before she got appropriate care, her son’s plight with schizo-effective disorder, her advocacy campaign with her sister and her upcoming memoir, "Resilience".
