Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health on TV + S'More with Stephen Falk (Live from ATX Season 8)

The TV Campfire

TV series broaching stories of mental health and mental illness are on the rise, from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and PTSD. By exploring everything from diagnosis and treatment, to daily ups-and-downs, they’re bringing to light what often goes unsaid: the journey towards mental health is universal. Join the writers from a few of TV’s bravest, smartest, weirdest, kindest, most challenging series for an honest discussion about destigmatizing the conversation around mental illness, and breaking open the incredibly un-universal notion of ‘normal.’

Panelists:

• Stephen Falk (Creator/Writer/Executive Producer/Director, You're The Worst)
• Mike Royce (Creator/Writer/Executive Producer, One Day At a Time)
• Meredith Averill (Co-Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer, The Haunting of Hill House)
• Arielle Kebbel (Actor, Midnight,Texas)

Moderator: Ben Travers (IndieWire)
