Personal Story Of Triumph: 
I Beat Anxiety & Depression
"My name is Kellene Diana and I used to struggle with anxiety and depression. Nobody understood or wanted to understand; in fact they called me names and passed judgment before they even knew what I was going through. It made me so afraid to speak up and speak out about it that it completely silenced me for years. Read more .

Applying to graduate school can be both an exciting an overwhelming experience. It can be difficult to decide when it is the right time to apply, which type of program is the best fit for your personal goals, and how to identify and communicate with potential advisers, amongst other challenges. In this webinar, a current graduate student and a VA research psychologist will provide guidance by discussing the "dos and don'ts" of applying to graduate school as well as sharing their experiences with the process. Register to watch this free webinar by ADAA professional members.

Taking Action - Raising Awareness: 
Sabrina's Poster Design
"I designed my poster with the intent of showing that reaching happiness was possible; healing was possible. The bottom half of the poster represents the soul being trapped, surrounded by darker colors. I hoped to achieve what an individual might feel like facing a mental disorder alone.   Read more .

From Our Partners
Tonic - Vice.com


At Tonic we've noticed that our readers have been clicking on stories about mental health in greater numbers than any other articles. Also, researchers have been finding that young people are more anxious and depressed than any previous generations. 

Since this is our current reality, and since it can feel pretty unmanageable to share brain space with anxiety and depression, Tonic writers and editors have spent a lot of time looking into how to deal. Now, we've linked up with ADAA to bring you Coping, the newsletter.

Coping will share stories about our worst mental states, and what tools and strategies can work for alleviating them-breathing exercises, therapy, medication, cake-icing videos, you name it. Plus, our ADAA partner Michelle Lozano, MFT (featured in this Triumph issue) will answer your mental health questions (email us at coping@vice.com.) Sign up to have Coping arrive in your inbox weekly.
