00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.320
In the Latino culture that I'm from,

00:00:02.321 --> 00:00:07.920
right, mental health is not openly talked
about and I didn't really know anything

00:00:07.921 --> 00:00:10.763
about mental health until I
was like 10 years old.

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:14.640
And that was when I first learned
my dad was experiencing depression.

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.320
I didn't really know what that meant.

00:00:16.371 --> 00:00:18.457
Like I didn't have the language or

00:00:18.486 --> 00:00:21.120
the knowledge to understand
what that really meant.

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.640
So I just remember thinking, you know,
how could he be sad?

00:00:25.641 --> 00:00:27.440
Like he's so accomplished.
Right?

00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:28.720
Like he's done so much.

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:29.960
I don't get it.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.560
And I think that it's probably what runs

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.120
through the minds of a lot
of well-intentioned people.

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:36.720
Right. That,

00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:39.800
you know, truly don't mean any harm.

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:41.160
But they just think whenever they learn

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.160
someone is depressed, like, "Oh,
my God, how could that be?" Right?

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:45.840
But mental illness doesn't discriminate

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.080
and it can affect anyone,
even those who seem invincible.

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:51.960
Right.
Or strong, like, it--

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:55.000
it doesn't matter because
it affects everyone.
