Garrison Brown was negatively affected by social media before his death — and it impacted his own sense of self-worth … this according to one of his siblings.
The “Sister Wives” star’s actual sister, Madison Brown Brush, hopped online to post an emotional video reflecting on her brother’s untimely passing — and she spoke a lot about his mental health struggles, while also acknowledging pointing to mental health convos at large.

Maddie explains her brother was battling issues internally — and even says he felt he wasn’t doing enough with his life … using social media as a comparison point.
She also says something pretty poignant … namely, social media isn’t real.
Maddie goes on to explain how she and the rest of the family have been dealing with Garrison’s suicide — describing how difficult it’s been finding a new sense of normal.

She urged her followers to remember that social media is just a snapshot into someone’s life — it doesn’t show everything. Remember, Garrison’s loved ones say he seemed perfectly happy online … having just adopted a new cat days before he died by suicide.
Maddie goes on to say that she’s going to continue putting a spotlight on mental health … and sends a message to people who might be battling demons — telling them that if they’re not feeling fulfilled with how they’re spending their time, they gotta change that ASAP.
We broke the story … Garrison was found deceased in his Flagstaff, Arizona home earlier in March. Flagstaff PD told us that no foul play is suspected, as Garrison appeared to have suffered from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He was only 25.
