Anxiety and The Walking Dead. Wait...What?You have surely watched the hit TV show The Walking Dead. Okay, I admit it. The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows. Why?  For several reasons: 1. I have always had an interest in film make up and special effects. The Walking Dead brings that out big time. 2. I have always been a huge fan of zombies. The classic zombie movie, directed my thee George Romero, The Night Of The Living Dead. Classic movie with special effects and a genius use of lighting and shadows. Without CGI. 3. I have always liked shows that depict the human spirit to live and survive. As I watch The Walking Dead I am struck with the parallel between living with a mental health disorder and Zombies.
