HA HA HA yeah right
CNN is a joke and everyone knows it
Invades @@RiseAgainstDisciple house and burns em alive
People are penalized when they get help. It’s sad. Job opportunities are foreclosed, child custody is affected, everything can potentially be weaponized. Thank you for starting the conversation on a public platform.
Yep, look at Britney spears for instance.
She will not be ignored!
That's very true. I have been diagnosed with complex ptsd. There are many factors that led to the diagnosis. Not all factors apply to me. I do not have the fight response. That is what movies highlight. The person who has ptsd and shoots people.
Trust Fauci and the science lmao
The penalization and the stigma both need to be talked about. All that is great but if there is no help available then people are still left with nothing.
The concept that you are not your disease is so very important. No matter what your problem. That has always been my response.
Glenn was still robbed of the Oscar for The Wife. Glad she's involved in these good works.
she was TERRIFIC in that movie!
I suffered from depression all my life. a few years back it got better, maybe because of menopause, maybe because i got my first dog. He died 2 hours ago at the age of 16, so now i am sitting on my balcony drinking looking for distraction watching youtube videos. I am fine, I knew this day would come. 20 years ago i told a good friend of mine that I thought about killing myself every day. he said, that I am making him uncomfortable and i did not understand why. maybe because to me it was so normal to think and talk about death. if someone would say this to me, i would sit down with them and listen to them. talking about it is a very good tool. talk to each other, people! and get a dog, it will change your life :-). RIP, Boba, you were the best that ever happened to me!
I am sorry about your loss. Pets have always given me a reason to live. Even in the depths of my depression I knew I had to get up and take care of my pets. Remember all the good memories. RIP Boba!
Dogs are the best. There’s another one out there that needs you, even if you don’t realise that now.
@@raquelf.1962 thank you, that is so kind of you! and a good point about the taking care of!
@@bcent5758 i totally do, and it will be another elderly dog as well, they need us the most.
Wishing you all the best. And a new pet when you’re ready.
How can someone dislike this video? This is important.
Thanks for this reporting job Anderson Cooper about mental health issues. There are so many things we can do ..when a friend struggles with bipolar behaviors, like my good friend did. We had a team of people who loved being with her the way she was. Anti depressants and sleeping pills were her norm!! Her education as a cancer and AIDS researcher was so amazing. Thank you for this reporting job.
Thank you for sharing this. Even now, 2021, I shy away from sharing my PTSD & depression diagnosis because of the way people still react like I'm broken.
Take care of yourself there is only one you 💜
Effexor works for me. Most days are like my birthday, Christmas thanksgiving and getting out of jail the same day.
@@trainwrecktoldya5298 Effexor had the opposite effect for me, Glad it works for you.
@@foreveryactionthereisacons1683 it's not for everyone. I hope you find what works. You deserve happiness.
Hollywood has really undervalued GC, the best actor of the current generation, she should have won 2/3 Oscars by now.
Actually, this comment is absolutely legit
Meryl Streep 4 ever!!! 🤪
@@xiaoka yawn.
Having been diagnosed w/ Complex PTSD, depression, anxiety disorder & ADHD, I can speak to the stigma & discrimination that occurs b/c of mental health symptoms. I have been denied promotions b/c of panic attacks. I’m considered “unstable.” No matter that I get repeated excellent professional evaluations year after year. The fact that I have on record at work mental health diagnoses for accommodations seems to allow a certain amount of discrimination in the workplace. We have a long way to go in addressing stigma associated with mental illness.
The law in America should be protecting people from discrimination in all areas, illness, mental health, disability, religion, race, sexual orientation. Unfortunately there is no proper legislation in the US to protect people from discrimination. Sad 😢
@@jkerr962 So very true. And I don’t understand the reluctance to put real protections in place. There seems to be a certain group of people who’s kneejerk reaction to any strides toward equity is “How will that harm ME?” Or their own privilege blinds them to others’ suffering. 🤷
@@anthrogurl4484 your very right and I hate to say this but that’s America in a nutshell. I’m an outsider looking in as I’m from Scotland.
@@jkerr962 There is an undercurrent in America of “I got mine, screw you!” that I’ve seen all my life. A friend of mine from Denmark said she thinks it’s b/c, unlike Europe, we’ve never really had to learn to adapt to people living nearby who speak a different language, have different customs, etc. The US is so large, it’s easy to isolate & convince oneself that you don’t need anyone else. Many Americans never travel abroad either b/c it’s so expensive & far away, so there’s a lack of knowledge of cultural difference. I also think 70+ years of prosperity has made us soft & unwilling to share w/ others. Unwilling to see suffering. I think our hubris & lack of knowledge will be our downfall.
@@anthrogurl4484 I think you’ve nailed it there and have to agree with you and your Danish friend
It’s difficult to tell someone that you don’t feel well without explaining why-for fear of rejection, ridicule, stereotyping, losing a job, relationship or being denied healthcare. As a bipolar person navigating life with these obstacles for three decades, I am encouraged that the collective experience of isolation during the pandemic has brought forth acknowledgement that mental health issues need to be legitimized
Even just insurances, a psychiatrist or therapist is considered a specialist, rather then basic healthcare and you pay a higher co pay. Like how dentistry is not included in health care, like a cavity wouldn’t effect your health. Your head is connected to your body.
Exactly I say this all the time
Thank-you Glenn Close!

FUNNIEST COMMENT EVER...SHE WAS SO WONDERFUL AS THAT POOR SICK WOMAN IN FATAL ATTRACTION....DECADES LATER PEOPLE ARE WONDERING WHY SHE LOST THE OSCAR TO CHER...
My daughters friend died at 26 from hypothermia because he was a walker - he'd take the bus to Vancouver then walk back to southern Ontario- 500 yrs ago he would have been a pilgrim walking to Jerusalem or The Compostella. My brother also suffers from schizophrenia but unlike the young man his came on at 30. He is an artist and one of the most wonderful men in this world and his suffering is so terrible- paranoid schizophrenia is no damned joke. Because he has always been co - dependent with my mother, and her 30 years of denial ( until recently) - and all his violence was towards me - he never received treatment or help. I would think it is a bit unusual to live till 63 with his condition. It has been hell for me though and now my mother is having to cope with him because at 67 I have sacrificed.myself and my kids enough for my brothers and mother and I live back in the bush so they can't be there every day. The madness of it all. My mom wanting me to hack into the CIA and the Whitehouse because Robby is I'll ( on my Comodore 64 lolol. I am a dressmaker and dont have anything in my house made before 1950 for gods sake) and I'd have a houseful of kids and Robby in full blown breakdown and my mom running around hiding the knives. Even my giant dogs hid when they came over. So it's nice to have these things out in the open but also the dangers that the families live with is terrible. It destroys everyone. I am so afraid of what will happen when mom dies.
Violence and schizophrenia do not necessarily go hand in hand. I'm writing this not to denigrate this person's story but for everyone out there that might believe otherwise. In fact, most people with schizophrenia are not violent.
Tell your parents.
I am so very sorry for your pain. It is a family pain. Just know you are never alone. Shining light on what has been darkness.
who gives this thumbs down? Ridiculous. Thank you for talking about mental health. There is still a great deal of stigma. It is very difficult when ones own family doesn't even understand it. They tell me to just smile and that will cure my depression. Sure, smiling is great but would someone say that to someone with cancer? Mental illness is an illness like any other.
As a result of an accident- I have a traumatic brain injury which means I am not exactly who I was before ….. been told many times that there is nothing wrong with me and that I can “handle it”……only you know what is comfortable for you…just because you look “ normal” doesn’t mean there is not something else going on…too bad we don’t have a dot on our forehead that would change color when things were not quite right…I have been there without the support that I thought I would get- has it changed- not really….but I am more open now and tell people that I can’t do something because of my injury-- and don’t beat yourself up…..it is not easy……you are allowed to frown. -- a good psychologist has helped me..take care
We have some people who will tell a cancer patient to just smile, develop a better attitude, toss out their life-saving medications (or pain-easing meds for terminal cases). We unfortunately have people like that.
The dislikes come from trolls trying to make the news stations and anchors look untrustworthy in the computer data.
I think that when someone disagrees with another comment they press the thumb down but it only means they disagree with that particular comment.
There's miserable jerks all over UA-cam unfortunately.
I remember her from that movie Fatal Attraction with the rabbit in the pot it was some damn good acting back then🤔
Imagine FOX New hosting thoughtful segments like this.
That gave me a laugh!
Not possible as Fox hires mostly mental cases, look at judge janine !
FOX news is clearly living in your head rent free.
The same company owns ALL news media. Quit falling prey to their divide and conquer. All media is owned by Blackrock
The stigma is almost worse.
2 of my very favorite people. Both are amazing in their respective fields.
Iv struggled with ADHD for 27 years, now i have gotten the diagnose it makes it atleast a little easier
Good luck 😃
Major mental illness can be frightening to be around. Speaking to someone who is hallucinating, someone who believes another is controlling their brain, or if they are covering their windows because they believe are being watched and recorded, is different from a person with anxiety about the pandemic. Try taking off their window coverings or leaving to go to work if they think you are meeting one of the people watching them. They can get violent. Everyone needs care and compassion, but until you have seen serious mental illness, you might not understand how hard it is to be around it.
Hear hear.... most of us are not psychiatrists..... it can really wear one down...I stay away from certain family members for my own mental health!
Here is a woman who embodies grace. How lovely a person she is.
Lol really? People are too gullible these days, but we are watching CNN videos which makes us worse then gullible, it makes us zombified

One of my favorite actresses and human beings....the extremely talented Glenn Close. BRAVO
Such an important issue! Thanks to Glenn Close, her family and Anderson Cooper for advocating for us all!
Mental health illness is not a personal failing or a personal weakness. It's an illness like any other. I personally believe in recovery from mental health illness through therapy, medication, and community support & involvement. Having a diagnosis isn't necessarily a bad thing. With a diagnosis, there's therapies to treat it. As someone who was diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) I was relieved to know what was going on with me, and that there was treatment. Depression is eminently treatable. There's a plethora of treatments, and not all are pharmacological: talk therapy, exercise, lights for SAD (seasonal affective disorder) even diet can help treat depression.
I believe these kinds of conversations and openness can begin to destroy the stigma of mental illness. Thank you, Anderson and Glenn.
One can only try to understand an equal, judgement occurs from a pedestal🎈
Thank you!!
Important interview. Thank you. 🕊️
Great talk ! Thank-you
Thank you Anderson and Glenn.
Great job, Glenn Close. My mother committed suicide 30 years ago today. I woke up to this You Tube video. It was a stigma then and it's a stigma today, but perhaps awareness is slowly helping people reach out for help.
xo
Great talk and yes mental illness needs to be talked about. It helps people understand that it's only a part of the person. They still have hearts, souls and want to be loved.
Wonderful interview. We even need to talk to health professionals who say "PD" as a slur. That is a good place to start.
❤️❤️❤️Glenn❤️❤️❤️
I would love for Glenn to produce a movie that's focused on the point of view of Alex from Fatal Attraction that puts the character in a more sympathetic light. I know people are probably sick of villain centered remakes but I think in this case, it might be a well deserved one. A chance to put Alex in a more sympathetic light and get her side of the story and why she did the things she did from mental illness to possibly abandonment issues to a tough upbringing. I don't know if that's something Glenn would like to see happen or if she prefers to just refer to Alex as a tragic character or put out a novel or something. Either way, I would love to see some kind of project that helps showcase a more sympathetic side to Alex.
Yes. Attitudes about mental health have changed in the 34 years since FA was made. However, Hollywood would probably still want the violence.
@@michelangelobuonarroti916 There could still be violence. Like violence from Alex's parents or have Dan be showcased as a violent short tempered bully/villain who bullies Alex instead of realizing and helping her with her problems and they go with the original ending with Alex committing suicide and framing Dan but this time, they weren't able to clear his name so he gets arrested and gets sent to jail for murder. Well ok they do clear his name but he's haunted by an endless guilt of feeling responsible for her death so he still has a bitter ending. The message being don't be so quick to vilify mental illness cause you never know what the outcome might be or what the person might be going through.
A great, great actor. One of the best. Wow, for her to be involved on awareness of mental health is awesome! God bless her, and Anderson for the whole show.
I have a lot of Respect for Glenn Close as Actress and also for speaking out and trying to get a public conversation flowing about mental illness. Her Sister is Very Lucky to have a sister who loves her and had the resources to get her GOOD help. Help for mental illness is not easy to come by. I agree with most of what she says. The "Your Not Your Disease" I agree with 50/50, its complicated.
People always talk about Glenn Close's character being "crazy" but never on the fact that the husband cheated and brought this woman into his families life. He was just as crazy as the woman.
@Abe Froman lol nice assumption. Completely false on both accounts. Seems like you need to get laid.
I remember thinking this when I saw this movie as a child. I also remember talking about it and people looking at me like I was crazy because dare I make her the victim. You know, crazy women, *chuckle chuckle* you just can't control them! 😒🙄
@@zarrahprodan2180 Good one! Bahahahaa!
Y'all have me figured out😎
Nonsense! People have affairs. You don’t boil rabbits and try to murder people. Geez!
Good conversation Anderson. Nice to recall all those years ago engaging with Glenn, her sister, BC2M groups, and your audience via Twitter. Different times... same me? No, I left Twitter a while ago.
This was fantastic and so important to talk about. Thank you. xx
People who are alone and struggling have so little strength to find resources. Community support is essential
thank you for this interview on such an important issue!
I've listened to about half this video and I still haven't heard anything in regards to fatal I agree with the mental health aspect but don't put the headline as fatal Attraction that's b*******
Starts at 8:15
You watch half an interview and bitch about it.
I was in my late 20s before I realized everyone didn't feel like I did.
Consider how much misery and destruction we bring on others by ego, alone. E.G. Can't admit we were wrong., Must have more/better things to feel good enough., Judging others,, and on, and on.
I love this woman. ❤
One of the greatest actors of our time. Dangerous liaisons was tremendous
Thank you, Anderson Cooper and Glenn Close... it is okay to talk about 'it.'
The cruelty of the stigma of depression will leave you alone and vulnerable, and people are cruel, so very cruel. Suffer in silence if you want friends or function in society. I know, nobody really cares.
Do you remember Glen Closes' Oscar speech? Ms. Close dedicated the win to her mother. During the speech Glen related the final sentiments of her mother's life. Glen's mother felt that her life was wasted tending to Glens father and her family. She lamented how she had "never accomplished anything"; "This one is for you mom" she cried out, with tears in her eyes, as she received a standing ovation.
Essentially, Glens mom told her that raising her was a waste of life. That is deeply scarring. Poor Glen. Due to her mothers selfishness, Glen is the one who ended up wasting her life for nothing. She dedicated her life to her dead mothers pain, but no one is there to cheer her anymore. She is alone. God bless her.
She never received an Oscar
8 Oscar nominations, no win, no acceptance speech🤔
It is very troubling to me that most people don’t seek help . Most people just simply understand what happens to the brain .
My brother committed suicide and I was blown away by it. It was years ago. I wasn't there for him and I don't think he had any mental health help.
Oh my god Glenn Close should win the next academy awards for her in “Four Good Days” it shows the extreme pain of a family member being an opioid addict! I am one and have been clean since 2008! That movie is so good and so dead on in my only opinion! Some of the best acting I’ve seen between her and Mila Kunis! I bawled my eyes out watching that movie!!!!
Blessings on them. I read the book about her sister's struggle and recognized the pain they all felt. Two of my family members are bi-polar, one suicided. Two children and a grandchild of a sib suicided, from a different side of the family. For too long, emotional illness has been hidden from sight for reasins of shame and embarrassment. This needs to change.
Cnn needs to STOP with the click bait titles.
Books, music, and movies have been my only relief.
What a blessing.
Let's go Anderson!
Intellegent smart woman. TY
Curious enough, cutting-edge medicine is finally beginning to see cognitive/psych symptoms as just that - symptoms that indicate a deeper physiological organic issue - i.e. active b12 deficiency resulting from gut issues that causes bodywide inflammation (incl brain) & nerve demyelination. Just one example that changes the whole way we view mental “illness.” Identify & treat the gut issue early enough and you can reverse the related symptoms.
Man, was she ever brilliant in FA. So damn scary. I still can’t believe that she doesn’t have an Oscar, when she gave the best performance in the category 3 times-1987, 1988, and 2019.
@Sam Torres And that, right there, is precisely why she’s never won. Not because she didn’t give the best performance in the category on 3 separate occasions. That, right there. Her persona will never win any popularity contests; I happen to think she’s great.
@Sam TorresAre you miserable or what..? As above so below 💫
I’m sooooooo glad we live in a day and age where mental health is being less stigmatized. Yes, we’ve always known of mental illness and there’s always been medication, doctors, etc… but there was still that unfair stigma.
Especially in the black community.
Her best performance ever was in the movie Hillbilly Elegy.
@Gill Munchen That's funny I was going to say that she looks like she is getting ready to play a transgender role identifying as a man.
I agree she was fabulous in that role.
Anderson always has that puzzled expression
I think, thoughtful.
I realize this is an old interview, but I went through major depression in the mid-80s. I don’t think people realize how far we’ve come in eliminating the stigma in the past 30 to 40 years. It’s as if the generation that lived during those years and did the work get no credit. It’s the same with racism.
WOW ❤️🔥
Gee it’s almost like there should be a national health plan 🤨
That includes mental health care! Yes!
@@robincrowflies yes in addition to many other things like dental, vision and hearing as well as affordable drugs and the ability to be treated for things like cancer without losing your house 🏠
@@elizabethellis9062 100%
Our "normalized" society makes any sort of "not perfectly happy" status abnormal, stigmatized and creates exclusion, isolation and sense in people that there is something "wrong" with them. Anxiety has increased, especially in young people, since the advent of social media. We have an extremely limited range of acceptable emotions in this country, and even less vocabulary to talk about it. Enormous thanks to Glenn and her family for sharing publicly to educate our population, and helping us get healthier.
Anderson: Jessie Czebotar says hi.
this is a MOVIE! people. PLUS people don't have these extreme emotional reactions any more, so you can't compare a film from years ago to now. Really.
She is a national treasure!
She is a fruit cake that was never delivered
A lot of therapists don’t take insurance and a lot of people don’t have insurance, so either way a lot people are screwed.
All mental health therapies need to be provided for all who need and want it regardless of the cost. The hidden costs to societies is apparent.
Indeed.
Asking "are you ok?" repetitively to me by somebody doesn't do me any good. It makes me stress out because I start thinking I must be acting strange. Unless you are a Dr., try a different approach.
Discussing mental health issues is taboo and the industry tries to profit from this fact by maximizing profit off each consumer of services.
She is wise.
OMG! Im sorry but being on the receiving end of a splitting BPD is terrifying.
The original ending to Fatal Attraction (where Glenn Close's character Alex kills herself, and frames Dan - Micheal Douglas) is much more akin and aligned with the self-destructive behavior of those with BPD. Turning her into a raging psychopath that wanted to kill Dan and his wife, isn't really fair. The original ending did not fare well with test audiences, so they changed it.
To feel good everybody should take a "journey" to the like button and smash that subscribe button to show how much you did with "journeyman"
Good idea.
I think if she brought the script to psychiatrists the reason they didn't mention that the character had mental health issue was because it's 'obvious'
Having access to professional help(real help)for many struggling on & off for decades difficult to find for less fortunate.A great deal of those suffering from mental health issues are unable to disclose/receive support from family members as it more often than not runs in families(environmental, genetic,etc)...
Thank you for educating the public. Maybe this will get more funding for mental health treatment and decrease the number of mass shootings in our country.
Psychiatric meds are being taken by people of all ages and can cause suicidal and homicidal thoughts. This and the abundance of mass shootings is not a coincidence. The whole country needs to wake up on this issue.
It seems her organization is focused mainly on younger people which is terrific, but I've been waiting for this topic to be tackled on a larger scale as it relates to the country in general. The pandemic, the political unrest, the US versus them mentality that has been cultivated by our politicians. I used to watch Karen videos when they popped up and think oh my God what horrible, entitled, racist Behavior. Now all I can see is the mental health issue behind the behavior. We live in a perfect storm for our most negative instincts to prevail, and it's hard to imagine a solution that won't be interpreted as a personal attack on our individual core beliefs and values. This is what we have been handed.
I'm with you, the more you understand of psychology and mental illness, the more you recognize the symptoms of mental illness in these public breakdowns by "Karens". We can't both want to be more understanding of people's struggles, but demonize them when their symptoms are less than sympathetic compared to how we usually imagine mental illness, like laying in bed or crying.
For some reason this doesn’t seem to be working our son was diagnosed with schizophrenia but he has no plans to get any better and it makes me so sad, and then he calls me a fucking can’t wow it makes me so sad and it makes me so mad😥
I was diagnosed with bipolar over 20 years ago I'm going to be 51 in a few weeks and have only recently like in the last 4 months that the cocktail of meds are helping me...
They look the exact same.
Our son was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but he does not take any medication and at times he calls me a fucking bitch to his mom and I have had to cut him off several times because he doesn’t want to get help😥
That is amazing. Because one of the main points of Fatal Attraction was to convey ‘woman’ as non existent except within the psychotic abyss of the male gaze. Note Michael Douglas’s face during sex scenes. Man takes what he wants while woman does not even really exist. Everyone was so happy and relieved at the end by the death of this psychotic woman. The question is it even possible for woman to exist in the cinematic gaze. How?
I wonder what stuff we are seeing on TV today will finally strike us as being an indication of mental health issues, years from now.
So... some people can "come around to new views" and some people just get cancelled for cringey stuff from the past.
Fatal Attraction is one of the scariest movies I have seen!
This Lady is definitely the Anthony Hopkins of American actors! One of the GREATEST, in our entertainment history.......My fav films of hers, is Sarah Plain & Tall & Dangerous Liasions......& of course, who doesn't love Fatal attraction?! She scared the hell outta me, in that one! 🥰🤣🤣🤷♀️
Exposing one’s family is never a good thing. Just because Glenn is famous, she should not shout her family to the roof top. Privacy and HIPPA should be of upmost importance.
It's a thinner slice. Naomi could sit games out and people should accept those decisions.
It says a LOT about the profession when TWO psychiatrists saw NO mental health issues with the woman portrayed by Ms. Close in the movie Fatal Attraction! Who BUT a person with mental health issues would have done the things that character did? I mean, she boiled the pet rabbit! Whole! Fur and everything! You would have thought that movie would have served as a cautionary tale for men, but nooooo. They still think with their little heads and think nothing of using random women randomly as sex objects with no commitments or thoughts about the long term consequences or implications, not only to themselves, but to their families/loved ones as well.
RIP Regis Philbin
Man I’m getting old
What a woman.
Pastors need more training...they deal with mental health a lot.
