How to manage Anxiety as a teenager. Today I am interviewing Devan Melwani about how he came to realize he has anxiety and how he has learned to handle it as a junior in high school. 

Devan learned that he was a highly sensitive person with anxiety during our time in lockdown from covid. He recently wrote a blog and came to tell about his journey that he has been on this last year and a half.
