"I Didn't Know The Room Needed Air": Harvey Schwartz on Mental Health

I’m proud and pleased that Harvey Schwartz, the remarkably successful CEO of @OneCarlyle is talking openly about mental illness in his family because mental illness is pervasive (it’s estimated that 22% of the U.S. population experiences some form of it), is badly misunderstood, and should be addressed openly, like heart disease and cancer are. Here is a brief clip from Harvey's recent interview with Wilfred Frost on the @TheMasterInvestorPodcast . Like Harvey, I had direct contact with mental illness in my family, which led my son Paul to create an award-winning movie, Touched with Fire, that is about creativity and bipolar disorder. It has had a great beneficial impact, so I'm proud of him, too. Sharing openly like this saves lives and creates progress in dealing with mental illness.
