Mental Illness No Laughing Matter in This Video

A new PSA for the UK Department of Public Health takes a long, hard look at mental illness and really hits home by illustrating just how unfunny it is how how deeply it can affect one’s life. In the video, a student stands up and shares with his classmates just what his life is like. The class, initially laughing at the boy’s antics, begins to understand what he’s all about and what he’s trying to survive. Powerful and engaging.
