The Burn

Combatting Post-Cancer Depression with Anna Crollman


Listen Later

Our guest today, Anna Crollman, was diagnosed at age 27 with stage II breast cancer. Anna writes beautifully about post-cancer depression in Wildfire Magazine’s 2018 “Mental Health” issue.  Anna found herself enveloped in depression following her breast cancer treatment. Having faced depression in her life before, she knew the warning signs, but that didn’t save her from having to go through a rough time. Fortunately for us she learned some things along the way that made recovery easier. While people who haven’t experienced cancer might think otherwise, the time following active treatment can be extremely challenging both physically and mentally. How do you feel safe again trying to live in the aftermath?
