Why we should challenge mental health stigmas | Damien O’Brien | TEDxGVAGrad
In this deeply personal talk, Damien shares his journey living with bipolar disorder and the “crazy monkey” inside his mind. Through vulnerability, humor, and honesty, he explores how stigma, shame, and silence prevent people from seeking help. His message is simple but urgent: by choosing connection and openness, we can break the stigma around mental health. Damien O’Brien is the founder of The Mental Health Association Switzerland and Coffee Foundation, a global award-winning mental health awareness and suicide-prevention movement. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder Damien has transformed profound personal pain into purpose, championing vulnerability as a superpower and reclaiming the word “crazy” to fight back against the mental health crisis.Unlike traditional experts, Damien speaks from lived experience — removing the masks we all wear to hide vulnerability, using raw honesty, humor, and courage to connect with everyone from young people on the streets to CEOs in boardrooms, free from mental-health washing.His collaborations with world-class artists and creators have earned global recognition, including the 2026 Givsly Impact Award Gold in New York for Campaigns With Conviction, World Brand Design Society Silver, and Brand Impact Awards Bronze.
