Mental Illness and Stigma with Glenn Close

This week we revisit my 2012 conversation with Glenn Close about how and why she became an advocate for those with mental illness. Glenn's sister Jessie has bipolar disorder, which didn't get diagnosed for many years. Now they are working together to erode the stigma that prevents people with mental illness from getting the support, understanding, and treatment they need.
