Mental Millennials Shelby Friesen

How mental health cracked me open and allowed me to uncover things I never thought I would.
It's the end of my journey with with this podcast being solely mental health based. As I see mental health as a side effect of a much bigger issue.
Our lasting legacy is yet to be determined.
But there is great opportunity ahead...

Think about what's going on around you. Why are you doing the things you do? Why are other people doing the things they're doing? This episode is a great prompt to get you thinking outside the box.
Short solo episode from your host Shelby Friesen!

From a young age, Cody had enjoyed playing hockey. He had an incredible social life, an amazing family. 2 months later he found himself quitting hockey, quitting school and binge drinking almost every day. He didn’t want to get out of bed, isolated himself and snapped at anyone if they tried to help him. He was depressed and felt completely hopeless. The worst part was he didn't know why.
 
The first stop was the family doctor. With the help of his mom and dad, he went in there and unpacked how he was feeling to the best of his abilities. Without asking any more questions, the doctor wrote him a prescription for antidepressants and told him it would solve all his problems.
 
And that was the start of 3.5 years of seeing 30+ medical professionals trying to find an answer. He saw more family doctors, naturopaths, psychologists, psychiatrists and even saw hypnotists at one point. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Meet Cameron Underhill. Cameron is the editor for the Mental Millennials podcast and a friend of Shelby's. The two met over Craigslist and haven't looked back since. Working and hanging out for most of the last year the two never really got to talking about Cameron's story. As the focus of their conversations was usually about the podcast or some sort of idiotic athletic activity, personal conversations were often missed.
 
Camerons story highlights his youth and dealing with suicide in the workplace. Early on in his life, he got good at suppressing his emotions and barring anything that didn't feel good. Fast track to 2017 and Cameron's life was changed forever by an accident he never thought would happen. We hope you enjoy the listen!
