Kevin Breel, Mental Health Activist | TED Sensation

Kevin Breel’s TEDx Talk, “Confessions of a Depressed Comic”, has garnered more than four million views, making it one of the most watched TED talks ever on mental health and depression. In the four years since he delivered it, Kevin has been called one of the “Most Influential Millennials in the World” by Parade magazine, and he has become a national ambassador for Bell “Let’s Talk”. His honest and humorous take on his first-hand experience with depression, and his message of ending the stigma around mental illness once and for all, resonates with all of his audiences.

In the video above, Kevin explains what led him to speaking about mental illness, and sharing his own story in the hopes of helping others. As he says in the video, “If you don’t own your story…your story will end up owning you.”
