Rx Mundi (Rohan Sharma) is a rap artist, published author, and mental health advocate from Bucks County, PA. He began public speaking subsequent to serving a twenty-three month jail sentence after pleading guilty to an armed robbery that took place in the Fall of 2011. At the time, Rohan was a medical student at Drexel University. However, due to his mental illness being misdiagnosed, he was given the wrong medication which induced a psychotic episode. It was during his jail sentence that Rohan read over 60 books, including many from the self-help genre, which ignited his passion for mental health. He now shares his story as an example of what happens when you don’t speak up and get help for your mental health issues, as well as to demonstrate the amazing potential we all have when we utilize the power of positive thinking. Having now been a speaker for over three years, his story of hope and resilience has inspired thousands in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond. Since then, Rx Mundi has launched his music, as well as public speaking career, helping his audiences achieve mental health success. Aside from reading self-help books, Rohan also learned to express himself in jail through poetry and rap. He now has a Youtube Channel under the rap name 'Rx Mundi', where you can find a preview of his debut EP "The Mandela Effect". Last, he has documented his story in a memoir titled "A Very Thin Line: My Journey With Bipolar", which was published in November of last year.
