"Mental health treatment offers an opportunity to become your best self", says LGBTQ+ and HIV activist Gerald Garth. He had to get over stigma around such treatment, he says, the feeling that seeking it means something is wrong with a person. Having therapy for depression was “an opportunity to align [myself] with support and resources that empower [me] to be [my] best self,” he says in a new video for The Advocate’s Love, Me series.Garth grew up in Louisiana in a deeply religious family and felt like he didn’t fit in.
