Nieisha Deed shares Living with Depression & Thoughts of Suicide

In 2008, Nieisha was diagnosed with bipolar. She was treated and had a mental breakdown in 2017 that could have ended her life, but it didn’t. She quit her Corporate America job as an accountant and became a mental health advocate, activist, and speaker. She founded PureSpark which uses social media to provide resources, and daily coping mechanisms that would otherwise be out of reach for someone who is unfamiliar with the mental health system.  PureSpark is committed to helping you find your spark in the darkness.
