10 YouTube Creators Promoting Mental Health Awareness and Support
“All stress, anxiety, depression, is caused when we ignore who we are, and start living to please others.” — Paulo Coelho
YouTube has evolved far beyond a mere platform for entertainment; it has become a space for education, inspiration, and, increasingly, a platform for discussing mental health. As YouTube continues to grow in popularity, so does its influence on society, making it an essential space for addressing important issues like mental health.
As public figures, YouTube Creators have a unique platform and influence over their audience. By openly addressing their mental health and prioritizing self-care, Creators can lead by example and encourage their viewers to do the same.

Creators who prioritize their mental well-being demonstrate that it’s okay to set boundaries, take breaks when needed, and prioritize self-care practices such as exercise, mindfulness, or therapy. This not only promotes healthier habits among viewers but also helps combat the pervasive “hustle culture” that glorifies overwork and neglects mental health.
