During the Thursday, Jan. 9 episode of The View, the talk show host and EGOT winner opened up about her personal experience witnessing her mom, Emma Johnson, struggle with mental illness when Goldberg was just a child.
It was during a conversation with ABC News Chief International Correspondent James Longman, who was a guest on the show to discuss his memoir The Inherited Mind, in which he writes about his family's history with mental illness.
"I find that how people felt about these things, how they hid them in the ’50s and ’60s, started to evolve as kids got older and said, ‘You should not be hiding me. You should be helping me figure out what’s going on,'" Goldberg stated. “So we’ve gotten better at saying, ‘There are better ways to do this.'"
"If they have mental issues, as my mom did, and you suddenly start developing things, you’re like, ‘Wait a minute. I’m not doing this. Somebody needs to talk to me.’"
Goldberg, who was 8 years old at the time, said her mom didn't remember who she or her brother was when she returned.
