The producers of MTV’s True Life<\/em>, a respected documentary series, are developing a new documentary series that focuses specifically on young adults living with mental illness.<\/p>\n

Producers are looking for 18- to 25-year-olds living in the continental U.S. who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and are willing to share their personal experiences with a television audience.<\/p>\n

MTV expects to start filming this fall and a camera crew would follow participants going about their daily life over the course of two to three months.<\/p>\n

Participants should be comfortable sharing the ups and down of living with their illness, including the effect the illness has had on their relationships with family and friends, side effects from medications, therapy and other ways to manage their illness and challenges they take on in their academic and\/or professional lives.<\/p>\n

If you would like to be considered, please send your name, phone number, and a brief description of your experiences (250 words or less) to MTV via e-mail to <mentalillness@mtvn.com>.<\/p>\n
