Nerris' History with the Condition

Living with ADHD, anxiety, and mild depression, Nerris advocates for people to overcome the stigma of mental illness and spread empathy.

Nerris has produced over 50 films and videos about mental illness for The Mighty. They've been seen by over 100,000,000 people online.

Nerris says: 

"I had insomnia from the age of 2. I learned seven instruments in high school because I couldn't focus on one. In college, I changed my major 28 times.

"Finally, at age 23, I began seeing a therapist for some anxiety and mild depression issues and got a bonus diagnosis of ADHD after explaining my strange relationship with caffeine. 

"Now that I know I have ADHD, I've enjoyed reviewing my life pre-diagnosis. Now, I understand why and how my brain draws so many strange conclusions and calculations. It's been a blast."
