For 18-year-old Clara from Humboldt, SK, having a complex autoimmune disease and diabetes has greatly impacted her both physically and mentally.

“I've been diagnosed with two different mental health disorders - anxiety and depression. I feel like they're mostly due to my various illnesses because they cause extra strain and everything and every part of your life. When bigger things are starting to happen like a surgery, my anxiety gets worse. Then the depression kind of kicks in because we need to know how we can treat it. So mental health definitely plays a part in the physical part of healthcare as well.”

However, she says having a dedicated provincial children’s hospital and practicing self-regulation has helped her mentally handle the stress of having a complicated medical condition.
