At the age of 17, Kevin Hines was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Two years later, the symptoms of his bipolar disorder which included paranoia, mania, and hallucinations, led him to want to take his own life by jumping off the Golden State Bridge. Kevin jumped and fell 25 stories at 75 miles per hour into the water – and survived.
Today, Kevin is a bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, and suicide prevention and mental health advocate. He is one of only thirty-four (less than 1%) to survive the fall and he is the only Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor who is actively spreading the message of living mentally healthy.
