Hakeem Rahim who works for the National Alliance of Mental Illness discussed his own personal journey with mental illness. He described his experience as a Harvard student who battled and eventually was able to overcome a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during his sophomore year. Mr. Rahim then challenged the students in attendance to be compassionate; to speak out in support of people battling mental health issues and to become allies in the fight against the stigma that is associated with mental health issues. Mr. Rahim then held a question and answer session in which he answered both personal and general questions about his experience and the work that he is currently doing.
