The Rare Life

87: Depression, Anxiety, + PTSD in Medically-Complex Parenting w/ Karley Henderson


Listen Later

Karley has always dealt with anxiety. But as is the case for many of us, her mental health took a turn for the worse when her daughter Nora was born. Because of the medical trauma that ensued for the whole family, she now deals with night terrors, panic attacks, and depression as well.

In this episode, Karley shares how she copes with these things while caring for her daughters. She also shares the difficulty of therapy, accepting a diagnosis of PTSD, and seeing her six-year-old daughter struggle with her own mental health.
