It&#8217;s not enough to just receive a diagnosis, she says, people have to learn to live with depression and other mental health issues. In her talk, she shares the techniques she&#8217;s learned to help her get stuff done while depressed.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica is a warrior who fights five illnesses daily: bipolar II, polycystic ovarian syndrome, asthma, psoriasis, and the neuromuscular autoimmune disease Myasthenia Gravis (MG).  Jessica Gimeno was valedictorian of her class, winning more than 20 speech competitions. Motivated by a friend\u2019s suicide, she spoke to hundreds of students about mental health stigma and helped thirty students get psychiatric help. In her free time, Jessica is a diehard New Kids on the Block fan who enjoys pilates, painting, and playing with her nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n<p>This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
