Mental illness isn’t something to be ignored. Correspondingly, mental health awareness is a must. Today we are grateful to have access to multiple different resources when it comes to seeking help. Unfortunately, not everyone recognizes the signs of mental illnesses, or their environment doesn’t support seeking help for this. Our mental well-being is just as important as our physical, yet this common misconception still drives many opinions on the topic.

While she empathizes with Adam, she also can’t spread herself too thin. And when she confided in Dex (Evan Hofer), it was almost like I could feel the same pressure that she felt to help Adam. Because what I heard was Dex telling Iosslyn that as long as Adam has her, he’ll be alright. Of course, we know that’s not what Dex meant. Instead he was most likely praising Joss for being such a dependable friend.
