Mental Health

I've got what?

This clip shows young people talking about their experience of seeking help and receiving a diagnosis. They reflect on how they felt when a health care professional named the illness. The illnesses discussed in the clip include depression, post traumatic stress disorder, psychotic depression, drug induced psychosis, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Although not a mental illness, bereavement is also discussed. This clip is one of a series in which young Indigenous and non-Indigenous people talk about their experience of mental health issues and mental illness.

These Speaking from Experience clips feature eight young people who share their experiences of dealing with mental health issues. It was produced in partnership with Orygen Youth Health , SANE Australia and Aboriginal Medical Service of Western Sydney .
