Born on the 26th of March, 1979, Ade Binarko described his early childhood as being quite tough, his days often filled with bullying from his classmates. This led to health problems that began to surface in 2004 as a result of mental and physical concerns. When travelling to crowded places, he felt a sense of anxiousness, experienced severe headaches, had high heart rates and was inexplicably lethargic. He soon became suicidal, feeling that the struggle was too much to bear alive.

It was only after extensive considerations that he decided to change his lifestyle. He did this by regularly consulting with doctors, asking for help from loved ones, regularly consuming medicine, and keeping up a positive mindset. He was then able to completely turn his life around, and in 2013, decided to launch an online magazine named “sehatmental.id”. He did this with the help of Dr. Rama: the same doctor that helped him recover from some of his darkest days. After his battles with mental health, he continues to share his experiences for people who now tread a similar path, believing mental health to be a matter of life or death.
