“From a young age I’ve dealt with the black dog, if you will. I’ve had medication, gone to therapy, tried many different things.” Since a young age, Chris has struggled with depression, but through a combination of mindfulness, support and exercise he has succeeded. “Together we can actually create a mental health system that helps people from an early age get support and go through these experiences well, together.”

Chris shared his story with It Gets Brighter, a campaign to support young people who are experiencing mental health issues by sharing video messages of hope and support.
