Talking About Mental Illness: How and Why Words Matter | Kristin Olbertson | TEDxAlmaCollege

The words that we use to describe mental illness tend to be misleading and don't actually describe what the individual is going through. In her professional life, Kristin Olbertson teaches history at Alma College. As a member of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, she advocates for improved access to quality mental health care for all people, especially children. She currently serves on the Harvard Pilgrim Patient and Family Advisory Board, and is a member of a working group in the national Coalition on Psychiatric Emergencies (COPE). 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/tedx
