Mental illness in adolescence update
Currently, I have researched only three illnesses in depth. These being schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety.
In preparation for the end of the month, I have already started creating my visual. (Nothing fancy-a simple old PowerPoint). I am thinking about making the project slightly more on a personal level by taking experiences from people I know that are diagnosed with these conditions, but I'm not sure if I would be able to find a willing participant for every illness.
I think that's about it for an update. I could probably go into what all the illnesses treatments and such are but that is taking away from the actual presentation, so I won't do that.

This month, I am doing my project on mental illness in adolescence.
The first reason is that after high school, I want to major in social psychology and become a psychotherapist/neuro-scientist. These fields often encompass mental illness during child/adulthood.
Secondly, myself and one of my best friends suffer(ed) from a variety of severe disorders. This is one of the things that prompts me to want to study this because it is relaypteable for me.
