The focus of this first film will be people under 25, the years when most mental health conditions first appear. It will include conversations with experts and relevant examples from history but, most importantly, it will feature the intimate stories of young people dealing with mental-health disorders and the families, friends, and professionals who try to help them. The film will make it clear how many “regular” kids suffer silently and invisibly from the wounds of adverse childhood experiences and factors such as the impact of 24\/7 media, bullying, and ever-more powerful “recreational” drugs.<\/p>\n
