Juveria Zaheer, a psychiatrist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the ������ϲ�����, is set to compete in the Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy! after winning .

 

An expert on suicide risk and prevention, Zaheer prevailed on Friday’s show with a two-day final score of $20,000, earning her a $100,000 grand prize, .

 

, Zaheer – a scientist with CAMH’s Institute for Mental Health Policy Research and General Adult Psychiatry and Health Systems Division and an associate professor of psychiatry in ������ϲ�����’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine – recalled how she thought her time on Jeopardy! was up after losing her first game in May 2023. 

She returned to the podium last fall and emerged as a Second Chance winner, and after cleaning up in her latest tournament, she says her comeback story feels like something out of a fairytale. “You feel like Cinderella. You just don’t want it to be midnight quite yet,” she told Metro Morning host David Common. “With every win, you keep pinching yourself to say, ‘Is this real? Is this happening?’”

The Tournament of Champions begins airing on Feb. 23.
