FACE Mental Illness

Allyson Ribar

Meet Allyson. Allyson still wonders sometimes how she managed to graduate from university with a degree in Psychology. She spent a long time not knowing what was wrong with her and why she felt the way she felt. Doctors at first thought that perhaps she suffered from depression and prescribed medication but the medicine didn't work. Doctors soon realized that she has Schizo-Affective Disorder. Once that mystery was solved, Allyson was put on proper medication and now has her life back on track. She has a good job, reads a lot of books and goes to movies with friends. FACE IT. Mental illness concerns us all.
