YOU NEED "HELP" is a comedic web series that follows a brilliant, but impulsive, young professor whose viral manic episode lands her in a court-ordered support group for people with bipolar disorder. There, she’s thrown into a community of bold, unpredictable, and deeply human characters—each managing their diagnosis in radically different ways. With sharp humor and emotional honesty, YOU NEED "HELP" explores the chaos and comedy of mental illness recovery, challenging stigma and centering those often left out of stories about healing. 

According to Mental Health America, nearly 60 million American adults (23.08%) experienced a mental illness in the past year, and more than half of those people did not receive any treatment. The reasons are complex—shame, fear, and systemic barriers all play a role—but stigma remains one of the biggest obstacles to people getting the help they need.

We believe that storytelling is medicine. That comedy can be a catalyst for change. And that representation matters—especially for those navigating life with a mental health condition.

That’s why we’re making YOU NEED "HELP". Our mission is to use comedy, storytelling, and laughter to reduce stigma, spark conversation, and encourage more people to seek the support they deserve. By blending entertainment with education, our series aims to normalize the messiness of recovery—and celebrate the humanity of those living with mental illness.

With your support, we can bring this powerful, hilarious, and necessary story to life.

Please consider giving today. 

Help us help.

Sincerely,

Ayanna Ziegler

Writer / Producer
