Entrepreneurs suffer mental illness at higher than average rates. It's time to eliminate the stigma around mental health and take preventative action.
This talk will cover:
- how stress mobilizes us to function
- what too much stress (burnout) does to the body, and what coping techniques can be used
- what mental health and mental illness are
- famous entrepreneurs who have faced mental health problems
- when you should take action (either for yourself or someone else)
- what to say to a friend or a colleague if you start to notice negative mental health
