As a youth in middle-school, Daniel was diagnosed with anxiety. In this vignette, Daniel talks about his experiences, how anxiety affected his youth, and how he was able to overcome and deal with anxiety with help from the staff at Lutherwood Mental Health Centre. Daniel attended Lutherwood’s education program for one high-school term, where he learned how to employ different coping mechanisms that helped him emerge from his seclusion, make friends, and embrace life. Daniel encourages other youth, who may also suffer from anxiety, to speak to someone about how they’re feeling and to seek out help.
