Young & Restless’ Mark Grossman’s Heartbreaking Loss: Remembering His Brother’s Tragic Death at 17
In a deeply emotional revelation, The Young and the Restless star Mark Grossman, known for playing Adam Newman, recently opened up about a devastating personal loss. During an episode of State of Mind, the popular YouTube series hosted by General Hospital star Maurice Benard, Mark shared the heartbreaking story of his younger brother’s passing—a moment that changed his life forever.
The interview, known for its raw and honest discussions about mental health, took an emotional turn as Mark detailed his brother’s struggles with paranoid schizophrenia. His younger brother, diagnosed only three months before his tragic death, had been battling the condition for years. On January 1, 2007, at just 17 years old, his life was cut short, leaving Mark to grapple with the pain and confusion of losing a sibling so young.
Mark recalled being 19 at the time and not fully grasping the severity of his brother’s struggles. Initially, he thought it was just a phase. But as time went on, his brother became more withdrawn—isolating himself, refusing to go to school, and even showering in the dark. His transformation was alarming, yet Mark, like many families facing mental health challenges, didn’t know how to help.
This candid conversation sheds light on the silent battles many face and the importance of mental health awareness. Mark’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how crucial it is to recognize the signs and seek support. Fans can watch his full interview on State of Mind for a touching and eye-opening discussion on love, loss, and resilience.
