I finally decided to visit my doctor to inquire about antidepressants, and I’ve gotta say…it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Today, let’s talk about mental health. Specifically—generalized anxiety disorder and clinical depression. #destigmatizementalhealth
*Keep in mind that the actual disorder is called generalized anxiety disorder, however I kept saying “general” in this video because it’s a lot easier for me to say LOL

// ABOUT
I’m Asia Jackson and I’m an actress and content creator based in Los Angeles.
I went through most of my life with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder and clinical depression. It was difficult for me to participate in life, find joy, and be happy. I felt like I was just floating through life with no direction. After seeking help, I’m now on a journey to learn how to live an intentional, beautiful, and joyful life and I want to encourage other young women to do the same. We deserve to live beautiful lives. Let’s create them together!
