b'Mental Health.

Yes, it\\u2019s the summer. It\\u2019s hot. It\\u2019s time to relax. To clear you mind. To relax.

Summer The time to refresh. The time to be clear.

Very important.

But, for some there is the back of your mind. Soon, ti will be fall. New job New grades. School. Some kind of transition.

Or for others, while it is summer, you are dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression. There may be a number of reasons why. And you know what? It\\u2019s ok. Know you are not alone.

Our guest today can relate.

After years of battling crippling anxiety, depression and an obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alicya Perreault found herself at a crossroad. She could either accept things as they were and continue on the same path, or she could find another way through and fight it. She chose to fight.
Part memoir, part self-help, Taming Crazy - Confessions and Lessons is a journey of strength, vulnerability, courage and laughter. Told with humour, truth and the occasional swear word, she shares the lessons she learned in her quest to climb out of the rabbit hole once and for all, often with hilarious results.
This book is an honest, raw portrayal of how paralyzing anxiety, OCD, and depression can affect daily life. Most importantly, it is a story of hope.
