So true

I love how she accepted her experience and can “tek bad things mek joke”. I’m glad she’s healed and alive bc she’s such a good comedian. I feel like a lot of Jamaicans are internally damaged because of how we were raised and sometimes we don’t get help until it’s too late. You could be living a successful life and still struggle with depression so we have to be kind. Everyday we get a chance to make others life a little easier so do it. We all deserve peace and love and that’s what I pray for.

Julie, thanks for sharing your story! Recocery is a journey- so keep on this patheay. Hopefully with your story, this opens the door for more open conversations and open arms to those who need it. As a psychotherapist, I am really glad that she found therapy helpful, and I wish more people could really access this type of support!

My dear Julie, the fact that u attempted 3 times and each time God orchestrated for someone to find you and save your life...girl you're here for a great purpose🙏🙌💃. You were saved for a purpose. Is long time Jamaica 🇯🇲 needed to get comfortable talking about mental health like we talk about the common cold. I hope this starts an even bigger movement where Jamaican men feel comfortable speaking up.

The best interview yet, hands down! Julie was authentic, no watering down of anything which is lacking in our world today. I learned so much about mental illness and it touched home for me. Thanks Julie for giving us hope. All the very best on your journey. 💕

Juliet I salute you for speaking so openly about the mental challenges that you have faced 👑👑👑

I swear I feel like I wanna cry. She speaks so casually about her suicide attempts. I'm so sorry she went through feeling like that.

It's crazy because I've never seen her outside of the comedy space and I've never actually thought about the person behind the laughs. It's refreshing to see and so brave of her to speak on mental health issues. Yendi delivers every single work! Give thanks

This was uncomfortable in parts yet so inspiring..."Mental health illness is just like any other illness....get help" 💕

"Comparison is a form of idolatry "...a whole sermon. I'm healing!. Thank for this one Yendi.

What a beautiful soul. She is helping so many people today who now realize that they can be healed and be made whole. God kept her for a time like this so that she can encourage those who needs help.

I am in awe of how open and honest this episode was. The sad part about this is that most of us grew up with this type of parenting. And while they did their best parenting based on what they grew up seeing, it wasn't necessarily the best for us as children. They were harsh with their words, but in their mind they were making us " tough" for the world, and while that maybe true, they were equally breaking us down in other ways.

Well said however I do believe slavery had a lot of the negative / abuse our parents did to us as they didn’t know better . We need to break the cycle . I always tell my adult children if I could have done it over the only thing I would change is the approach of beating and the yelling but I would still use my Caribbean parenting way not this North American up bringing tall

As a teen, who often doesn’t know what “that feeling” is, it’s certainly good to hear someone like Julie who I find so much joy in, speak on the raw truth of mental health in the the Caribbean, specifically in the Jamaican household. There’s such a heavy stigma that needs to be erased to better our upcoming generations and prevent further trauma in our communities. Also, so incredible to learn about the person behind the laughter and the smiles. This was an impeccable interview. NOTEPAD FULL UP💓

Julie, you are absolutely correct about how mental illness is viewed in the US. I sought help in Jamaica and it made my mental illness worse. Worse I had people around me who all they knew was to ridicule and negatively criticize me. I can hardly remember a moment when I was told well done or something good. I had so many episodes in Jamaica yet help was unavailable. I had a few episodes in the US and instantly someone was available and thus my journey to healing has began. You can freely express yourself without being judged. And yes my mother can never remember saying things to me but I do remember Thank you Yendi and Julie

This is such a character she is so hilarious telling her story, you feel hopeless when you fail at life and fail at death,this is a story not for the faint hearted.....

As someone said, I wish this was longer. For someone who makes such light-hearted and relatable content, I was amazed at her story and her willingness to discuss her struggles. Her story will help a lot of young people like myself who are struggling, I hope it goes far and wide,especially here in Jamaica. Ratings Julie Mango!!!!!

Yendi! This is the best interview by far. I was literally dying with laughter, Julie had me hollering...and I don't know how you compose yourself with all she said, even that regine' comment. I cried. Anyhow, such a beautiful soul. I am so elated that I realized she was extremely funny and gifted way before people started seeing her. Love you, Julie! Make sure you come to visit Canada when your skit is out! We shall be there. On the mental health disorder, as a Social Worker, I am so happy you were able to talk candidly about your disorder. I do hope that this will be the beginning of a change in the Jamaican culture. Kudos, Yendi! Kudos, Julie! Love you both.

Sending a virtual hug to both of these ladies. I am happy that we have come a far way as a people. Thank you Julie for sharing your journey I too have suffered and still suffer from mental health issues I dont have a therapist but I hope to find a good one soon so I can start my healing. Yendie and Simone are my favorite youtubers you remind us that we are all connected somehow and share similiar struggles. Thank you.

Only Julie Mango can self disclose such painful life experiences and have you laughing and crying! So grateful to God for keeping her and the gift her has given her to bless others. Thank you Yendi for another powerful interview!

when she said her family did not know what mental health is, that hit me.

Yendi your Interviews have been like medication to the soul. They touch topics that we deem taboo. Julie Mango thank you for this, I know you have touched someone living thru a similar story and proving that the light may seem dim but it's not out! You are enough....

This interview is one of my favorite to date. It was raw, real, and relatable. So many life nuggets to take away from. Julie is such a beautiful soul, I looked in her eyes for the majority of this interview, they are so beautiful. I loved it, this interview is the best I've watched so far. I'm so happy you chose to live Julie, you make the world a little brighter with you still being here.

This was a beautiful interview. Julie was so poignant while being hilarious. Her growth and comfort is inspiring

Eventhough this is a sad interview I admire the fact that she came out and talk so that we all can learn from her experience. While going high school I had a friend who used to cut herself and I was the only one whom she told and I was so devastated. My late mom was bedridden from I was 10 years old and that sent me in deep depression I was even having suicidal thoughts so I was hospitalized. To be honest I don't think am healed from my childhood experience because the least little stress I undergo the only solution is only to take my life. Am trying my best to get the necessary professional help I need.

I had to watch this in parts, it hits too close to home. Especially because I know these people personally and grew up with them, and am aware of some of the incidents Julie cited. I am happy to see Julie coming into her own, as a child she had the prim and proper personality of her mom, but as Julie Mango, she has a similar personality to her dad, funny, musical, and know how to tell a good story. Well done Juliet I am so happy for you and the journey you are on.

This is therapy within itself! Needs a wider audience especially within the Jamaican/black community. Thank you Julie Mango & Yendi 🙌🏾

I really loved this deep conversation and how people and their environment can affect us all Whether positively or negatively. I want to wish Juliet success in all her endeavours.

Nah lie this woman is awesome in everyway.

Wow! You never know what people are going through. I remembered her from high school. We were not in the same year group but I remember her being well-known and well liked by both staff and students. In high school I was so introverted and I always wished I was like her and her friends, very extroverted, happy, well-known and well liked. It saddens me to know you were dealing with this secretly. I hope you are feeling much better and wish you all the very best in life ❤.

My daughter is 12yrs old,and she's a subscriber to Julie channel,am glad you found yourself and jesus,continue to live my child,God bless you always

I love this. You never know what someone is dealing with which is why it's so important to be kind. Congratulations on your healing journey Julie.

Wow!! Word!! One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard for therapy!! Getting a new operating system!! God bless you both!! Sister your courage and the comfort with your journey now??! Shows the power and grace of God!! 💖👏🏼👏🏼🙌🙌🙌💖

Loved this episode Yendi, mental health is a very serious thing in Jamaica. It's also so true it being said about the first diagnosis Jamaicans give you us that "yuh mad" not acknowledging that there are many phases of mental health.

Wow. Such a good interview. Mental health is no joke. Even as a child. I had no idea this was a struggle for Julie. I think parents of that generations didn't grow up expressing their feelings and everything is just brushed under the rug. Thanks for sharing your story @juliemango

Hand down the best interview for me.Julie mango kept it 100%.She put a face to mental health like none other.Great interview Yendi👍

This is such a powerful interview as I believe lots of Jamaicans are hurting in the same way and we as a people are so ill-equipped to deal with such things.

Amazing how taking responsibility for her mental health allowed her to unearth this beautiful gift that touches millions.

Congratulations on your progress Juliet and for sharing your story. The Lord is perfecting all that concerns you.

A wonderful and eye opening interview Yendi. In Jamaica you ever wonder why people who suffer mental illness never really get better. Is because it's one size fit all. I don't know if it is lack of resources. I know of a brilliant young man who suffer from mental illness but lack of proper help, he got worse and eventually died.

Love love love this episode Childhood trauma is so real and is so evident in the adult us if not dealt with. So much to digest, this is a MUST RE-WATCH, LIKE AND SHARE EPISODE. Thank you for being so open..I am thanking God for the healing, you pursing purpose, you finding and approving self. Many blessings ...

I appreciate her honesty..I think we all have issues,do we have the courage to face it?It's ok to deal with our insecurities...TKS Julie Mango.❤️

Julie, you are an inspiration. Thank you for being so open and honest. Yendi your interviewing skills are admirable… I saw the connection with the choice of a car accident and the statement about why Julie should not choose acting at age 12. Unpacking generational mental hurts is so necessary 💙

Wow, Shes so funny without even trying lmao. Julie has such an awesome personality. Keep going girl, you’re doing amazing. I’m so happy you are inviting more people on this platform that are shining more light on mental health. Love this Yendi

Julie thanks for all the laughter!!! I love you sooo much🥰🥰😍😍

Yendi keep on helping others by allowing them to express themself.

I had to watch the interview twice, so much highs and lows openly discussed. Juliet it's a beautiful thing to see you rise from your ashes.Nuff love. 😊

I have been waiting on Yendi to interview Juliette since forever, i knew there was an amazing story behind this adorable and humure filled lady and i am so happy i finally heard it. So proud of you Julieete love you baaaad🎉🎉❤

Oh, my word! It's a delight to watch her. I can truly resonate with her journey and healing. Both of you are beautiful. I started a journey to help others on my channel after recovering from depression. It's a horrible sickness. Yendi and Julie Mango. Respect and love to you both! ❤

This interview is like a giver of life and many more. This is therapy to the soul. God bless you ladies.

Amazing interview! Yendi deserves her flowers for the work she’s doing. 💐This is why you cannot look at a person and think you know them. I would never have guessed that Julie went through the mental health struggles that she described. I loved her before but now I look at her completely differently. Continue being great. 👏🏾

This interview is everything. Jamaica needs to reach at a place where they take mental health serious. This stigma associated with mental health where they believe that people is mad when they seek counselling is the reason why people is afraid to seek help. Studying psychology and learning about the various mental illness is the best thing I have ever did. As Jamaican parents too, we traumatized our kids by equating love with pain. So we beat our kids and somehow convince them that this is love. So we grow up to believe love comes with pain. Hence the reason for some people staying in broken and abusive relationship. Therapy is also a good tool.

From my current experience therapy is so freeing, so empowering and one of the best things anyone could do for themselves first, and that refined/healing you spill into those around you no matter where you are in life. I knew I wasn't giving my fullest self and I couldn't figure out why so I decided to do it. BEST DECISION EVER 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Julie for choosing you & taking responsibility for your own life so we can experience your greatness. Thank you Yendi for this space and interview, well needed!

I shed a little tear watching this . It’s shows that you never know what persons are going through in their lives . Not that there is anything that I could have done , back then you seemed okay . Am very happy that you’ve found a way to deal with it and the best is yet to come . Keep going Juliet you’ve inspired me and others . You are freaking awesome

I’m not even finished watching but to how I can relate. I must say I appreciate this interview. Much respect to Julie for being so candid.

Not living in Jamaica or being on Tik Tok I have no idea who this beautiful human being was. Watching this interview has made me more aware of mental health challenges. Once again Yendi you have done ✔️ it, this interview has topped them all ❤❤❤ All the best to you Miss Julie Mango 🥭 😊❤

Why me and Juliet have the same family? The only difference is I'm 21 and still living with them. God knows how much this video gave me hope for the future. Thanks Julie, thanks Yendi 🌱

Yes, yes and yes!!! One of the most difficult journeys one will ever take on, the road to healing. Be it battling anxiety & depression to borderline personality disorder, it's never easy and a constant work in progress. Thank you Yendi for allowing Julie the space to share her story.

Just wow… thanks for shedding the light on the mental health issues and the problems in the system … Strength and prayers to you Julie 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wooooooww! I am in awe. Juliet and I were classmates and friends in high school. This has evoked so many emotions in me! On one hand, I have so much empathy and compassion for Juliet but on the other, I am so so proud of her achievements and her prowess as a woman. Depression is real and one can only TRULY understand if one has experienced it. Been there! Love and blessings, Juliet. What an inspiration this show is! Thanks Yendi! Powerful women!

So true Julie, it’s the norm in the States for ppl/families to have a therapist. What a wonderful interview, so open and honest. All the best girl.

Yendi this was suppose to be a serious interview but, you see that interviewee, "OLIVET AT LARGE", just had me in stiches. I loved her openness and straight talk, whether it was about her or someone else. She was born to be a comedian. I am so happy that our on time God turned on the light of wisdom and rescue in her life at the right time. I am also happy she is living her passion. through this interview and her Julie Mango self, she is and will continue to inspire and help other people going through similar issues and they will learn that they too are ENOUGH.

I swear every interview is even better than the last Yendi! Thank you Julie for opening up and sharing your experience and healing process. I’m so glad you are in a better place now and I look forward to what you have next in store!

This was so natural, effortless and fun to watch, while highlighting some very important points about mental health. I love it!

May you continue to heal Julie, such a bold step to be open about your struggles.
