Episode 1: “Anxiety? Is it edible?”
In this episode, we went around the school and interview random students and teachers to test their knowledge about Anxiety. The answers and their reactions were were really interesting and hilarious at some points, but we also recognize a serious problem: there is a disconnection between the students and the teachers although both groups related deeply to this topic.

This time, we interviewed Mrs. Nickolson, our Psychology teacher, and Mr. Johnston, grade 12’s counsellor, about the same set of questions that we used to interview random people in the last episode.

The explanation about the topic this time is a lot more precise, scientific-based, and is back up with many statistics and careful research. The psychologists also shared their insights and experience throughout their career life.
