This video explains to a teenage audience three of the most chronic mental illnesses: anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. Using a theme similar to the movie “Inside Out,” each illness is personified by a character. These characters identify the illnesses they represent, describe their prevalence, symptoms, average age of onset and how they impact daily life.
