Daniel Ying- Student

Zoom Registration

Daniel Ying is a psychology major who is currently taking his nursing prerequisite courses to transfer as a nursing major for his BSN at a 4-year school with the goal of eventually serving as a psychiatric nurse practitioner to practice medicine. On campus, he serves as VP of Wellness for Phi Theta Kappa as well as co-president of Students for Global Citizenship as a sophomore. In his spare time, he volunteers at his local Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance peer support group in Colts Neck and has recently completed a mentorship with Monmouth Cares to observe how care managers work with and serve at-risk youths in NJ Children’s System of Care.

His presentation aims to share and discuss his struggles with bipolar disorder and the pendulum between the highs of mania and the lows of bipolar depression, including the apex of psychosis and the nadir of suicide. His passion for mental health has informed his academic, career, and personal goals as he hopes to become a beacon of hope for those who also suffer from mental illness.
