 From now on, every YouTuber that claims they have mental health issues must provide a note from your doctor. Oh Keemstar, what are we going to do with you? Up everybody, this is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution, and if you're new to my channel, my channel's all about mental health, and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. But every now and then, we gotta talk about the mental health stigma and raise some awareness and put some people in check, so if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, that tweet came from the man, the legend, Mr. Killer Keemstar himself, and I first want to send out a huge shout out to one of the subscribers, Micah who pointed this out to me, Keemstar was like, on one today, Keemstar's not been happy about mental health issues lately, but he went on a little bit of a rant today, so here's some of the tweets that Keemstar sent out today. Maybe you can fix your mental health by having bigger goals than sending pics of ravioli for a follow. I mean, if that was my goal in life, I'd probably be a depressed loser too. I'm not going to respond to him anymore, clearly he is acting depressed for attention. Look, there are way too many of you claiming you have mental health issues. For most of you, just know you don't. You're fine. This is life. Life is a roller coaster, highs and lows. Why is everyone claiming they are suffering from mental health issues? Life is not meant to be happy 24-7. If it was, then you would not know what happy is. You wouldn't be able to compare it to anything. Some of you might be sick, fine, but most of you are just little babies or lying. I'm trying to help him. Pure depression. I think it's good advice. Then there was a response about how he was seeing a specialist and Keemstar says, it's not working, you're still sad AF, maybe try getting a job. Oh, Keemstar, oh, where do I begin? Like, this is sounding eerily familiar. Like, this legit sounds like some of the babble that Paul Joseph Watson was spurting out. Strength of character used to be about the ability to deal with negative stuff without just falling to pieces at the first sign of distress. Oh, but there shouldn't be a stigma around depression anymore? That's mean. Yes, there should. Alright, so a theme that we're going to return back to a few times throughout this video is that Keemstar is the last person that you should be turning to for as any type of mental health authority, alright? So let's talk about reality real quick, alright? I have worked in mental health and addiction treatment for the last three years. There are two facilities here in Las Vegas that I worked out of. Both of them had a maximum capacity of about 200 beds. The other one was about 150. Both of these facilities were at least, at least, 75 to 90% filled at all times, okay? That's a lot of people needing treatment. Aside from that, there are countless, countless mental health and addiction treatment centers around the country with waiting lists. I know people who are on waiting lists for weeks, if not months, just to get mental health treatment. Lastly, in my experience working in the mental health treatment world, I have had over 70 deaths in the last three years from overdoses and suicides. One of them including a close friend of mine who passed away just a couple of weeks ago. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. You got people like Keemstar who are going out there and claiming that, you know, it's just these YouTubers and people, you know, in the spotlight who are faking mental illness. Well, let's go down the list of people who have passed away from mental illness in 2018 who are in the spotlight. Mac Miller, Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, Kyle Pavone, Vern Troyer, Avicii, Dolores O'Rourden, and let's not forget in 2017, we lost Chester Bennington to suicide. But then you have a guy like Keemstar over here talking about how for anybody to open up about their mental health, they need a doctor's note. So now I just wanted to read a few quick tweets from my man Roberto Blake who kind of heard about what was going on and he tweeted this out. Don't let a few cynical people on YouTube convince you people are just doing it for trends and attention. If you live in the real world and not in a mansion somewhere in LA, then you likely are seeing friends and family open up about mental health. So yeah, I don't think it's trendy to talk about your struggle with mental health and think the institution is ignorant. Most people suffer in silence and then everyone is so shocked when something tragic happens. Social shaming that we see is part of that. Damn right, I couldn't have said it better myself. And that's why I'm making this video. Like, sure, I don't like Keemstar. I love Keemstar and hope for the best for him, but I don't like the guy. Like, here's the issue is that we're in a place, we're in a place where more and more people are opening up about their mental health. I know it seems, I know it seems like, oh my God, everybody has a mental health issue these days. But there's a lot of us who are fighting to make this conversation more normalized. That's why we're hearing about it more often, all right? No longer are that many people suffering in silence. And like Roberto said, like everybody's so shocked when someone passes away. Like all those celebrities that I listed who passed away, everybody is just blown away. Like how could somebody who seemingly had everything pass away like that? But then you have somebody like Chester Bennington who is singing about this stuff in almost every single song. And he's still passed away and people are surprised. So basically I'm here to try to be a voice for all of you and just let you know. Like always check, always check the source of where this information is coming from. And right now the source is freaking Keemstar. Are you really gonna let Keemstar be the person who's gonna rent space in your head and make you feel bad about opening up about your mental health issues? Like let's sit back and think about that for a second. Like this is something that helps me keep my mental health on track on a regular basis. When people are, you know, talking down to me or talking trash or trying to poke fun. Like I look at them, I'm like this is a miserable human being most of the time. Why am I gonna let their opinion affect me? Now don't get me wrong. I don't live in this delusional world where nobody fakes mental illness or nobody, you know, says that their mental health issues are more severe than they really are. But I'm here to say that Keemstar is not the authority to make these types of calls. But during a time, during a time when so many people are struggling with mental health issues, so many people are passing away from suicides, drug addictions. Think about all the people with mental illnesses who are doing harm to other people. Think about all those things. Wouldn't it be better? Wouldn't it be better to live in a world where people are opening up about these things and we can try? We can try to show them a little bit of kindness and compassion and try to guide them to a place where they can get help and support. All right, so I'll end the video with this. Okay, we have a mental health support group over on Facebook. Okay, I'm going to link it down the description like I always do. I'm going to link it down in the comments below. We have over 400 people in there. Go in there, post, talk about the problem, focus on the solution or just talk about the issues and ask people for advice. We have so many people in there who care and are not going to judge you for what you're going through, okay? There's a great, great, great community in there. I'm in there talking to people. Tristan's in there talking to people. We're all there to support each other. A lot of people are talking outside of that group too, calling each other and being there for one another, all right? So don't let somebody like Keemstar losing his mind on Twitter screw you and your mental health up, okay? But anyways, let's have this conversation down in the comments below. Are you still in a place where you're afraid to open up about your mental health issues? And if so, why? And lastly, if this is the case, please join our support group over on Facebook, all right? But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.
