Welcome to going mental. This is your host Eileen Kelly. I'm interested in the things many of us face but don't always talk about.

After spending five months at McLean Hospital working on my mental health, I'm back.

A little more insightful and with plenty of stories to share.

Expanding on my usual topics of sexuality and intimacy, this season takes into account

everything I learned during my stay.

I'll be bringing together a wide range of guests, some beloved, some contentious,

to discuss work, love, and the bizarre phenomenon that is modern life.

Join me as we try to make sense of it all.

On today's episode I'm joined by Dev Cameron.

She's an Emmy Award winning actress and singer

who is best known for her roles on Disney Channel and the

descendant film series. Do you want to introduce yourself in your own words?

It's a good place to start.

Yeah, hi, I am Dove Cameron. I am very, very, very excited to be talking to you today about this.

And I'm also, this is our first time meeting isn't it? Yeah it is and I know I wish I

it didn't have to be through a computer but you know in the future hopefully we

could meet in person.

Oh yeah I'll come find you. I'm going to come find you in New York. You have no choice.

Can you tell me a little bit about your upbringing? So I know you're from Bainbridge so you're a

Seattle girl more or less yeah when you texted me from the 2006 number I nearly

flipped I was like who is this? Yeah so I'm from I'm from Bainbridge Island

which is a small island next to Seattle. My upbringing I think was fairly abnormal actually in basically every way.
