Audience: Students; Grades: 6-12; Subject Areas: Health, SEL. (2015) Dave: My Story About Depression Until age 15, Dave suffered from depression and severe panic attacks. He noticed an improvement the very day of his first gym workout and firmly believes his new daily regimen has enabled him to have a healthier mental and physical outlook. Dave sees his workouts as an assistive means for managing his anxiety and has become passionate about spreading a message of hope to others who also suffer from anxiety. This new sense of belongingness has provided him an aim of becoming a motivational speaker within the health community.
