From Crisis to Innovation: A Mental Health Journey with Hird

Thomas Ousterhout’s mental health journey began as a teenager battling depression and suicidal thoughts, leading him through a transformative experience in a lockdown institution. Instead of letting these struggles define him, Thomas became deeply interested in psychology and mental resilience. His passion led him to study psychology in Los Angeles before moving to Denmark, where he discovered his true calling—combining neuroscience and technology to improve mental health care. Now the COO of Hird, Thomas is pioneering NeuroTech solutions that measure brain activity to track stress, focus, and mental effort. By making mental health as measurable as physical health, Hird empowers individuals to better understand their well-being and take actionable steps toward improvement. His company’s mission is to use technology to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and provide tools for personal growth—bringing mental health tracking into everyday life. Beyond his work at Hird, Thomas leads a thriving online support group, Conquer Your Mind, on The Mighty, where over 115,000 members find encouragement and guidance. His journey from personal struggle to groundbreaking innovation proves that even the darkest moments can lead to incredible impact. Join us as Thomas shares his insights on the future of mental health, the power of lived experience, and how NeuroTech is changing the game for mental well-being.
