Why Maurice Benard Is Mentally Strong
Maurice could have kept his bipolar disorder a secret.
But he decided to make his story public.
Verywell / Julie Bang
But he did so because he wanted other people to know that they arent alone.
He also started his show because he wanted to reduce thestigmaassociated with mental illness.
For many people, depression doesnt last forever.
Anxiety may come and go.
But some mental health issues persist.
Things like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are treatable but not curable.
Thats why its important to have a clear understanding of your diagnosis and your prognosis.
That’s the message.
