I'm a valedictorian with depression and anxiety disorders. AMA
I figure this will give everyone an opportunity to see a success story of mental illnesses.
How did you overcome it? And who supported you the most?
What was your biggest challenge? Did you talk openly at your school about your disorders?
Congratulations, that is an amazing achievement! Was goal-setting a part of your journey?
Thank for you sharing your story and congratulations being valedictorian. Do you think depression/anxietynegatively affected your memory retention? If so please share any tips you might have.Alsoresearch indicates that those with higher IQ tend to have a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety.Do you feel that this is a price worth paying?
