Savannah Chrisley is getting candid about her struggle with mental health issues, and how being the star of a reality TV show impacted her health journey.Savannah recently sat down with mental health advocate Patrick Custer for a new episode of her podcast, and she reflected on the toll her role on took on her and her family due to their sudden fame.«It really was, in a way, an acting gig.

We knew we had to show up, we had to be funny, that's what we did,» Savannah, 25, explained. «When we started… it was pitched to us that it would be a reality show.

And then it quickly changed. I think people, production companies, networks, took advantage of my dad's ability to approach a situation with humor.»«They took advantage of that to the point to where he always had to be funny.

Every situation had to be approached with humor,» she said of her father, Todd Chrisley. «He's used his humor to cope with a lot of things throughout his life.»Savannah said her dad has undergone «a lot of therapy» in recent years to learn how to openly discuss things instead of deflect with jokes and humor, and that she's had to seek help for her own issues — largely to do self-image problems.«Growing up the way that I grew up and how everything was this picture-perfect image and I had an older brother who struggled with mental illness, addiction, all of those things, and then I was on TV at 16 and I was being told what I needed to look like, what I needed to be,» she recalled. «It was like it created two [versions] of me.

Can you pass the citizenship test? Most Canadians would fail, poll suggests
Canada Day approaches, but a new poll suggests their minds aren’t full of the knowledge needed to pass a citizenship test.In a survey of 1,512 Canadian adults, Leger found that only 23 per cent would pass the citizenship test, based on their answers to 10 randomly selected questions.People who wish to become Canadian need to answer 20 questions about citizens’ rights and responsibilities, as well as Canada’s history, geography, economy, government, laws and symbols.They need to score at least 75 per cent to pass, but the average score of the Canadians who were surveyed was only 49 per cent.The questions focused on things like famous Canadians (Who is John Buchan?), history (Who established the first European settlements in Canada?) and national symbols (Whose portrait is on the Canadian $10 bill?).The correct answers, for those struggling along with most survey respondents, are: a popular governor general, the French and Viola Desmond.History questions seemed to trip up respondents the most: For example, only 24 per cent knew that the House of Commons recognized in 2006 that the Quebecois form a nation within a united Canada.Only 29 per cent knew the Constitutional Act granted legislative assemblies elected by the people, and only 41 per cent knew that English settlement began in 1610.They fared slightly better when it came to national symbols and influential people: 49 per cent knew that Marjorie Turner-Bailey is an Olympian and descendant of black loyalists, and 42 per cent recognized Canada’s motto, “From sea to sea.”Most Canadians were also in-the-know about the main groups of Indigenous Peoples in the country, with 79 per cent correctly identifying First Nations, Metis and Inuit.People in Western Canada scored
