  • David Essel
    #1 best-selling author, life coach, and counselor David Essel has struggled with anxiety, depression, and addiction for several years. With over 43 years as a counselor and master life coach, he has dedicated his life to helping others who struggle with the same issues he has faced and overcame. Today, David Essel has announced a new platform where people can go for help (http://www.mentalhealthhealing.org)
    Essel has been a long-time advocate for mental health, and now with the demand for mental health care so high, David has created a movement right now in America with resources and help, which both are currently lacking in our Government.
    "We need the attention to the mental health situations that are becoming more and more of a challenge for Americans as well as people all over the world. And the stigma around mental health is still so incredibly powerful! Recently, I had the opportunity to interview one of the leading EMS captains in New York City, who point-blank told me on the show that they did not have enough mental health support for everything the first responders have been going through. He also noted, an incredible increase in suicide rates amongst first responders just in his department! And then when we look around at the number of people that are struggling with weight, struggling with addictions, struggling with relationships, struggling with careers, struggling with finances… anxiety! Depression! PTSD! Insomnia! All of these will lead to mental health challenges even for the strongest amongst us,” said Essel.
