America’s most famous whistleblower, Ellsberg reveals new
chapters of his story through exclusive interviews and previous-

archive, revealed through a partnership with the University of
Massachusetts Amherst. A one-hour radio

federal agents attempted to apprehend self-proclaimed white
separatist Randy Weaver, and three people were killed. Why

Mental Illness: Past,
M ore than 50% of Americans will be diag-
nosed with a mental illness at some point
in their lifetime, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. And, in any given
year, one in five adults in the United States will
experience a mental illness.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental distress for many
Americans. Some are being diagnosed for the first time with depression
and other disorders that come with being isolated. Still others are
struggling with mental illness in silence because they fear being judged
and excluded.
Even today, we continue to ask: What is mental illness? How does it
originate? How can it be treated?
Mysteries of Mental Illness Mysteries of Mental Illness, a multiplatform initiative from GBH,
Tue (6/22) at 9pm and 10pm on GBH 2 examines the history of mental illness in science and society. Each part
Wed (6/23) at 9pm and 10pm on GBH 2 explores a different aspect from a variety of perspectives:
A four-hour documentary series. Presented in two blocks on consecutive
nights, the broadcast series goes back into the history of mental illness
and questions societal norms through the ages. Next, it examines
mental asylums and prison, where care was often inhumane. The last
episode looks at cutting-edge treatments and the fight for inclusion.
Short-form digital videos. Each video reveals how mental illness, and the
healthcare industry surrounding it, specifically impacts communities
of color (see “Exploring Mental Health in Marginalized Communities,”
next page).
Virtual events. Panels and screenings across the country engage com-
munity members on topics related to mental illness.
Website resources. The Mysteries of Mental Illness website offers a
robust set of articles, videos, toolkits and other resources from a wide
range of national and local services and organizations on issues related
to mental health.
Social media. GBH is extending the reach of the series through live
streaming on Facebook or other social platforms, expanding audience
access to notable voices, including celebrity activists and mental
health experts.
“Today, Americans are more likely to need services from a mental
health professional than any other medical specialty, yet the diagnosis
of a mental disorder carries a stigma that a heart condition or other
physical ailment doesn’t,” said Denise DiIanni (top left), senior execu-
tive in charge at GBH Studio Six. “Through this multiplatform initia-
tive, we hope to bring this important story to audiences in all settings to
help give voice to people across a spectrum of experiences,” she said.
Mysteries of Mental Illness filmmakers Peter Yost (center left) and
Edna Alburquerque (bottom left) look for stories that are universal.
The award-winning team from Pangloss Films has filmed a number
of science-based programs, including What’s Living in You?, a NOVA
series that uncovers the surprising secrets of the human biome.

Present and Future
“The topic of mental health really goes to the core of what it means
to be human,” Yost said. “It asks: What does it mean to be ‘normal,’ and
is there even such a thing?”
The stigma is real, said Alburquerque, who has witnessed how it has
affected her own friends and family who have struggled with mental
disorders. “And recovery is never really linear,” she said. “Everyone has
ups and downs.”
Both said they were inspired by the courage of the people in the
film who spoke openly about their mental illness. The personal experi-
ences give viewers an inside look at what it’s like to live with it on a
daily basis. Olympic boxer Virginia Fuchs (top right) shares her story
about her obsessive-compulsive disorder, showing how the world-class
athlete uses as many as 12 toothbrushes every time she brushes her
teeth.
Keeping quiet about mental illness is a common away many people
have dealt with symptoms. Pastor Michael Walrond (upper right)
suffered bouts of depression but never sought help because it was
something that was not done in the Black community where he lived.
Transgender woman Mia Yamamoto (lower right) describes what it
was like growing up feeling completely alone trying to figure out if there
was something wrong with her.
Meanwhile, recent scientific breakthroughs have started to find
biological explanations for some types of mental distress. Journalist
Susannah Cahalan (bottom right) documents her psychosis and
feelings of hopelessness before she was diagnosed with a rare brain
condition that causes rapid changes in mental health.
“Each one of them represents a spectrum of human experience that
provides an important addition to a worthwhile conversation,” Yost said.
Alburquerque added, “I hope lots of people will see themselves or
their loved ones in this film and realize they’re not alone.”
