In today's episode Jess chats with her first year roommate Dana all about the long journey she went through to find therapy. Dana is a student in second year at Ryerson studying child and youth care studies with the plan of becoming a teacher. Dana began struggling with anxiety and depression in middle school and talks us through the different ways she tried to cope before finding Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. If there's anything to take away from this episode it is that you never have to suffer through mental illness alone.
