The Creative Process and Mental Health

Two of America's most beloved writers led a discussion on a difficult issue confronting millions: depression and mental health. William Styron, author of Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness, and Art Buchwald, author of We'll Laugh Again, have both battled depression and shared their personal stories as well as explored ways the media can help overcome the taboos of mental illness. This is the inaugural event of the Mental Health Media Partnership, a new project of the Annenberg Schools at USC and Pennsylvania and the National Mental Health Campaign.
