Mental illness is anything but uncommon. It is just as prevalent, and certainly no less serious or troubling than physical ailments. Just as the latter can lead to dramatic disruptions in one's social, occupational, or academic life, so can mental illness.

The US Surgeon General's report on mental illness concludes that at least 30% of Americans currently suffer from some form of mental disorder, including disorders in any of the following general categories: anxiety (most common), mood, eating, sexual, substance use, sleep, cognitive, psychotic, and schizophrenic. This figure is comparable in Canada and many countries around the world. The three most common specific disorders appear to be clinical depression, substance abuse, and social phobia (social anxiety disorder).

Unfortunately, most individuals suffering from these conditions do not seek help. Many believe their condition is not a "real illness", or that their doctors will not take such illness seriously. Others believe that treatment options do not exist, or that their healthcare plans will not cover treatment for mental conditions. Still many others are ashamed or embarrassed.

As part of my ongoing work on public perceptions of mental illness, I have started compiling my own list of well-known public figures who have chosen to openly state that they have experienced, or are reported to have experienced mental illness in some form. These are examples of individuals who have struggled with serious conditions and who, with hope, determination, and treatment have overcome them and gone on to become successful in their individual arenas.

It is hoped that other sufferers will realise not only that are they not alone with mental illness, but that they need not be ashamed and that relief is possible.

Sources for each listing, which may include personal statements, articles, or biographies, are referenced at the end of this page. As this is a "work-in-progress", please note that not all references are currently listed (though they can be provided upon request). If you have any other names you think I should add to this list, please let me know.
