As @seanastin looked into the crowd of about 1,000 people at St. Mark's United Methodist Church on Oct. 13, he reminded them that while mental illness is ugly, there is also some beauty.⁠
⁠
"Everything about my mother is hope," said Astin, the film and television actor. "Everything about her experiences, her courage, determination, resilience and ability to try and forgive herself." ⁠
⁠
Astin, the son of the late Patty Duke, a legend of television and movies in the 1950s and 1960s, was the featured speaker for Bryan Health's mental health care fair. ⁠
⁠
Astin's half-hour presentation Oct. 13, which coincided with Mental Health Awareness Week, dived into the stigmas of mental health and his experience growing up with a mother with a mental illness. ⁠
