For these professionals, the channels are a way to do outreach and help people they might otherwise never see. The second layer consists of narrative videos from people with first-person experience of a particular mental illness.
People who have mental illnesses often feel incredibly isolated, and the internet can be a good way to find advocates and those who can help guide the way, says John Naslund , a research fellow in global health and social medicine at Harvard University. His research has shown that online social media groups of all kinds can be valuable sites of peer support, especially for highly stigmatized conditions like schizophrenia. At the same time, personal narratives can spread misinformation, often unintentionally.
This usually happens when someone talks about a treatment that worked for them, but might not be supported by research. Nowadays, The Rewired Soul is his main source of income; he makes money off ads shown on the videos, and he has also sold courses that offer mental health advice. The courses are now free. This is the so-called Goldwater rule. Greenz , a mental health YouTuber who makes videos that address topics such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
The videos are about commenting on behaviors and trying to share information about what is healthy and what is not, not making moral judgments. We also had a piano in the house … so I learned how to play Salty Dog when I was a little boy. The music in the family was always important. We danced and we sang. My sisters all joined the talent shows. I remember asking my mother for a horn at eight years old. Long story short, that was the beginning of my career, man.
I basically was pulling on her dress while she had my baby brother in her arm, and my sister on the other side was pulling on her while she was stirring the pot cooking. I ran out there and raged. But the next morning, she brought the cornet from my grand-aunt next door, cleaned it up, put it in a denim satchel, and that was the beginning of my formal musical career.
I also sang a lot. I drove my sisters crazy by just singing these little ditties. I realized the power of my voice. Although they did not encourage us to become professional musicians, my mother and them did expose us to a lot of music.
That has become an iconic performance. Tell me about that day. That was epic, man. I was so emotional. I think everybody, everybody in that tent was crackling with emotions. It was just so good to see an audience and to be able to sing in front of an audience again. Believe it or not, when I was in exile in North Carolina … I even went to a bar to try to sing karaoke — and I got hissed out!
That was really funny. But Louisiana , that day, in that tent, the emotions were so high. I just wanted to sing, and I knew people needed to hear that song. Randy Newman really put it together. It was one of those moments, man. You could feel the floor rising, and the roof rising. Everybody in that room was as emotional as I was. One of my favourite recordings of yours is your interpretation of Why by Annie Lennox. What was it about that song that struck you? I was singing Why for about a year or so before I recorded it.
I was very interested in Annie Lennox. I liked her with the Eurythmics, and as an individual artist. I started singing that song right after coming out of a pretty rough relationship. Sometimes, you know, you just hang on to the wrong person for too long. That tune was part of that.
