Making Mental Health an Everyday Conversation

  1. Making Mental Health an Everyday Conversation Aubrey Johnson 51:40

“PLEASE do not suffer in silence…”

After graduating from West Point, Omar Ritter’s rock-solid military career plan took an abrupt turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during a routine Army physical. This turn caused Omar to pursue and obtain his MBA, begin his Doctorate, and make a career pivot to Corporate America – ALL WHILE quietly battling PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety for over 2 decades.

Tune in, as Omar & Aubrey talk about:

  • Overcoming the stigma of military leaders fighting PTSD and Depression
  • The importance of advocating for yourself to doctors when you don’t feel quite right.
  • Omar’s lessons learned in his switch to working in Corporate America
  • Omar’s urge for Mental Health conversations to become an everyday topic; and urge for Veterans to not suffer alone.
  • Insights from his book, “West Point to Wall Street: My Journey to Mental Wellness”.
