In this episode, I sit down with my younger sister and we talk about how mental health impacts a family unit. We dive into her experience at home while I was at McLean, the differences she saw in me and the family, and the skills that she learned as well! We talk about the difficult spot you get put in when someone close to you is struggling but it's not your story to share. She also gives advice about finding someone to talk to.
About She Persisted (formerly Nevertheless, She Persisted)
After a year and a half of intensive treatment for severe depression and anxiety, 18-year-old Sadie recounts her journey by interviewing family members, professionals, and fellow teens to offer self-improvement tips, DBT education, and personal experiences. She Persisted is the reminder that someone else has been there too and your inspiration to live your life worth living.
