ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how sharing personal stories about mental health struggles through digital formats, like videos, can help people feel more empathy and compassion towards others. The goal is to understand how these shared experiences can create connections and foster kindness in society, especially regarding those who suffer from mental disorders. By exploring these digital narratives, the researchers aim to see if they can change the way people view mental illness and reduce stigma.
