Something Good Comes Out of the "Jersey Shore"




On Thursday night, Vinny Guadagnino left the Jersey Shore to obtain treatment for his anxiety disorder. After the show, Vinny made an impressive move to use his departure as an opportunity to educate the public on anxiety disorders through the public release of his website   http://www.halfofus.com/vinny/  . This website serves as a resource for those who would like to learn more about anxiety disorders.

In his video above (which is on his website's homepage), he discusses his history dealing with anxiety and encourages those who are coping with these disorders to get the help they need.

Who new that Vinny would lead the international charge to break the (relative) silence on the impact and treatment of anxiety disorders? I can't believe I am writing this, but I am genuinely glad that the Jersey Shore is an international phenomenon.  Vinny, we'd go to the Jersey Shore with you any day.
