Success Through
Mental Illness
What do U.S. Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael
Phelps, singer Ariana Grande, and actor Dwayne “The
Rock” Johnson have in common? Each has some form
of mental illness. They have sought help, worked hard,
and managed their illness to lead happy, successful lives.

make other lifestyle changes to address mental illness.
In virtually every organization in the world, there are
people who experience a form of mental illness. They
don’t let their illness define them. They deal with it every
day and work to live their happiest lives.
