Is Your Child or Teen Starting or Going Back to School?
If your child or teen has an anxiety disorder this may affect success at school. If an anxiety disorder is causing your child to struggle academically or socially, the first step is to talk to the teacher, principal, or counselor about your concerns. School personnel will likely recognize some symptoms or manifestations of your child's anxiety at school, but they may not realize they are caused by an anxiety disorder, or how they can help. Use your child's diagnosis to open lines of communication. Learn more here.
College can be stressful. College students can easily get anxious trying to juggle school, work, friends, and family while trying to figure out the rest of their life. Most bounce back. But frequent, intense, and uncontrollable anxiety that interferes with their daily routines may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Learn more about college students and anxiety here.

The Jasper Jordan Project
On May 10, 2017, an episode aired of CW's post-apocalyptic show "The 100" that made the hearts of the audience drop - 16 year old Jasper Jordan, beautifully portrayed by Devon Bostick, found a tragic end in the arms of his best friend due to an overdose after suffering from severe PTSD for a majority of the show. Thousands of viewers had followed his emotional journey, hoping for a story of healing and recovery. But once again, as with many other mentally ill characters on TV or the big screen whose story lines end in suicide, we were disappointed.

Zac's Story
My Journey through Anxiety
My name is Zac Hersh, but I go by "Z." I am a 23-year-old recent college graduate, certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, mindfulness and meditation coach, and an accomplished distance runner, and triathlete. I am also the co-creator of the Mood mobile app.
For most of my life, I have dealt with a significant amount of anxiety. These feelings were subconsciously present for the first 21 years of my life. I say "subconsciously" because I thought being in that state was the normal way of life for everyone.
