My TEDxCrenshaw Talk

Elan Carson speaks at a 2015 TEDx event in Los Angeles, California.

As a woman who has battled depression, I know more than anyone should about mental health and stigma. For the past 5 years, I have been working to educate others by breaking down the taboos and barriers that accompany mental health discussions. Author, screenwriter, and mental health advocate, I strive to enable others through my writing to understand the causes, effects, and options for those who have mental illness in their lives.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedxSHOW LESS
