With a little help from my friends
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, December 8, 2006
Sometimes, the best medicine for mental illness is the support of a good friend. That's the message of new public service announcements from the Ad Council.
The first round of radio and television ads target teens who are friends with someone who has a mental illness. Noting that many people who suffer from bipolar disorder, depression, or other mental illnesses tend to try and hide it from people they know, the ads say support can be a key factor in recovery.
The $1 million campaign started December 4. Future ads will be aimed at adults, who also feel a stigma when they suffer from mental illness.
