Mental health means something different when you've been through it, when you've had a personal encounter with depression or anxiety and reached the point of seeking help.  From the outside, mental health challenges can be difficult to comprehend, and people who are struggling with depression or anxiety are often given labels--as "weak" or "crazy."  

It is time to break that stigma.  On this episode of the Pulse, three patients from our Senior Behavioral Wellness program volunteered to share their powerful stories, to help others understand what mental health really means, and to encourage those who need help, to seek it.  These are very personal, intimate stories, and we appreciate their willingness to be so vulnerable.
