Disney Sees Growing Mental Health Crisis

Disney has a long history that ties to the current mental health crisis. Stars on The Mickey Mouse Club, like Britney Spears, are prime examples of long-term mental health risks. Other examples include Aaron Carter, aged 25, Lee Thompson Young, aged 29, and Michael Manenuto, aged 35.

Impressive Talent Gone Too Soon

Young climbed the ladder of fame with his Disney series The Famous Jett Jackson and later grew into stardom with Friday Night Lights. Manenuto was on Disney in the biopic Miracle before entering the U.S. Army. Carter was a pop icon of the early 2000s.

Each of these beloved actors lost their lives through suicide. And it’s not just Disney. Other beloved studios like AMC and Universal see the same issues.
