edit data

Scott Nelowet is a writer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate based in Jacksonville, Florida. After receiving a clinical prognosis that deemed a traditional life impossible, Scott transformed his survival instinct into a successful career as a national brand founder and leader.

Now, he brings that same grit into his writing. As the author of the YA adventure series The Peace Strain, including French Fry Heaven and Peace Frog, and the forthcoming mental health roadmap How Are You Alive?, Scott’s work sits at the intersection of high-stakes adventure and radical honesty. He proves every day that a diagnosis is a landscape to be navigated, not a final destination.

For many of us, “feeling good” was never truly on the menu.
There were peaks and valleys throughout my life, moments of success and achievement, but they rarely mirrored my emotional state. I was often able to accomplish more than the people around me, yet none of it lifted me up or silenced the voice inside my head.

The truth is, for many depressed people, simply waking up in the morning and getting out of bed is a profound act of courage. It requires a level of resilience and endurance that few people will ever truly understand.(less)

Why do you think radical honesty is so important when talking about mental health or a clinical prognosis?

Scott Nelowet I often say psychologists would be among the most important and highly paid professionals on the planet if they could fully do their jobs. Unfortunate…moreI often say psychologists would be among the most important and highly paid professionals on the planet if they could fully do their jobs. Unfortunately, many people lie to their therapists, making real healing nearly impossible. If you want to speed your recovery along, be radically honest and let them actually help you. Once you truly accept your condition, you can stop wasting energy denying it and start focusing on solutions. You also gain the clarity to understand that much of what happened to you may not have been fair in the first place.

But there’s another part of this that is mission critical: radical honesty with ourselves. If we have the courage to face the truth about who we are, what we feel, and what we need, we quietly give the people around us permission to do the same.(less)
