Grammy nominee Carnie Wilson connects with those living with tardive dyskinesia (TD), talks mental health advocacy
For the latest episode of my podcast — On Topic, Off Script 🎙️ — I spoke with Grammy nominee, singer-songwriter Carnie Wilson.
*In the clip below, Carnie opens up about what the mental health community has meant to her. *
Take a listen to my conversation with Carnie Wilson for my podcast — On Topic, Off Script.
Her career has seen her as part of the trio behind Wilson Phillips and a successful solo artist in her own right.
Carnie has also been a fierce mental health advocate, speaking out about her own experiences, while using her platform to support others. That advocacy work brings us to her current partnership with Neurocrine Biosciences on its Connecting with Carnie initiative.
By way of ConnectingWithCarnie.com, Carnie is using her platform to support people living with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an involuntary movement disorder that is associated with the use of some mental health medications. It's a condition that often brings with it immense stigma, leaving those living with it to feel self conscious about seeking support and the treatment they need.
I spoke with Carnie about why it's important to destigmatize conversations around TD and how her own mental health journey and those of her family -- like her dad, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys fame -- fueled her advocacy.
