Kersten McAbee tells her story about depression, anxiety and stigma

Kersten McAbee is a 17 years old living in Wheeling, West Virginia.  Kersten has volunteered for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) ever since she was 10 years old.  She was diagnosed with anxiety and depression as a freshman in high school, and just last year was diagnosed with ADD.  She hopes to help and inspire others who went through, and still are going through, the struggles that she has overcome.
