- NOTE FROM TED: This talk contains a discussion of suicidal ideation. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com...
In the arena of mental health care, standard approaches do not always work. The speaker, who - at 18 years of age - has endured more than a half-decade of mental health challenges and institutionalization, proposes adding self-acceptance, including acceptance of one’s current mental health state; self-trust; and other inward-focused attitudes to mental health therapy.
Piper is a young adult who has just graduated from high school, now into her freshman year of college, where she is studying nursing. Piper is a co-author of the book “Unconditional” where she shares her story going through mental health struggles as an adolescent. In her free time she likes to travel, go to concerts, write music, and swim. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

"You can't hate yourself into feeling better." 100!
I just wanted to say that I am so sorry you had to go through so much at such a young age before receiving a proper diagnosis. Your talk brought me to tears. This is the exact same struggle I went through in the 90’s in Madison, Wisconsin. I had hoped that more progress in the care of the mental health of young people had been made since. You are such an inspiration and example of the perseverance it takes to be your own advocate
She's amazing and I could relate to her 1000% and I appreciate her courage and I could feel her energy even in her breath. I could relate to it all and thank you for being such a strong young lady
Thx Piper. You touched me deep inside. Another country. Similar story here. I went through that too. I finally found my way. 13 Years later. After everyone around me had already given up on me. What I realised looking back and what I can still sign exactly the same way today I. The same realisation you had. I'm not broken. I never was. Thx for sharing your story. Hats off for your courage. 🫶
Thanks for the courage of sharing your story. I can relate a lot. My first contact with mental health care system was at age 15 (Anorexia and depression). But I was struggling already as a child, just nobody looked into it (had suicidal thoughts as early as age 6).
I'm 37 now and still badly struggling. Some stuff that I lived through in psych wards and hospitals only added more trauma. And 100% finding what "they" want to hear and see just makes it worse, harder to treat in the long run.
I whish you the best.
Thank you so much for your bravery!! Keep going, you are a wonderful human being! 💗
Wow had to brush away a couple tears at the end, you’re an incredible speaker!
Listen to what she says
Mental health is a real concern even though just a few get to talk about it. Great speech!
Pieper garner you are legend and great this words is small for you ...
You are really a strong girl
Thank you SO much for sharing. This is invaluable. I will be listening to this talk periodically as managing my own times of crisis. Your insights inspired me. Thank you again, Piper.
Thank you for this talk. I am pretty open about my mental health, much to the chagrin of my coworkers. But maybe I should do a Ted talk. How do you recommend I do one? I kind of have a history making story.
LOVE YOU PIPER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for your courage!
Takes alot to stand up there and give that run down.
Pleas clear voice
❤❤❤
There are civil rights issues, or there should be, with how the mentally ill are treated and medicated, unfortunately. The diagnoses, if believed, are also cages of a kind, scaring people more than helping.
