From The Editor
Dear readers,
How often do you think about your mental health? Considering the fact that by age 25, approximately 20 per cent of Canadians will have developed a mental illness, odds are you’re thinking about your mental health a lot more than the Roman Empire.
With the prevalence of mental illness in young people being so high today, it’s no wonder Interrobang’s Mental Health issue has become a mainstay annual issue, often overflowing with a broad range of topics that have evolved considerably over time, in line with our understanding of mental health and its impact on day to day life.
Our featured content explores how social media has helped connect those living with Attention Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), how creativity can support our mental wellbeing, and even how to bounce back emotionally after a break-up.
Other articles in this issue look at the benefits of a yogic lifestyle, the intersection of technology and mental health, and how athletics can both help and hinder our mental wellness.
There is no easy answer when it comes to navigating the world today. There are constantly new strains and stresses being put on young people, from school to the cost of living. What this issue hopes to show is that no matter what, you are not alone, and even if the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a train right now, eventually the way will clear and you will find your way.
Until then, happy reading.
Sincerely,
Hannah Theodore
