The hit TV drama HOUSE is helping NAMI raise funds and awareness for
mental illness. And you can help, too.

Right now--for a limited time only--one-of-a-kind HOUSE T-shirts are
for sale online exclusively to benefit NAMI, the National Alliance on
Mental Illness.

Beginning May 1, an online auction will run for seven days to sell
five special autographed HOUSE items:

One t-shirt signed by the entire cast
One cast photo signed by entire cast
One HOUSE Season 1 DVD signed by Hugh Laurie
One HOUSE Season 2 DVD signed by Hugh Laurie
One original HOUSE script signed by entire cast
All proceeds from the sale of the t-shirts, as well as from the online
auction, will be donated to NAMI.



The t-shirts are emblazoned on the front with a phrase well-known to
fans of the show: "Everybody Lies." This is one of the "House-isms"
uttered by the brilliant, but cynical diagnostician Dr. Gregory House,
played by Hugh Laurie, the star of the show. The show's logo appears
across the back of the shirts.

The phrase "Everybody Lies" was chosen by HOUSE for these shirts
because of its familiarity to fans. In the context of the TV show, the
phrase is a reference to the fact that people who are being
diagnosed--relative to any illness--often withhold information because
they are afraid, ashamed, embarrassed, or conflicted.

For that reason, "Everybody Lies" also message about stigma, a
familiar experience for many people with mental illness. Too often,
Hollywood has been indifferent to stigma concerns. This time, the
producers and cast of a TV show stepped forward to help.

"Mental illness is stigmatized and misunderstood in our society, and
we're trying to do something about that," said HOUSE executive
producer Katie Jacobs. "We're very fortunate to be celebrating an
extremely successful third season for HOUSE, and we'd like to give
something back to a cause we feel is both worthy and overlooked."

"HOUSE is making an enormous contribution to public education by
lending the show's celebrity profile to raise funds," said NAMI
executive director Mike Fitzpatrick. "On behalf of every individual
and family who live with major depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, NAMI thanks the show and
cast. They are making a difference in people's lives."

Mental Illness . The cast of HOUSE thanks you for making a difference
in the lives of people struggling with mental illness.
