Donna Frick came into my life when her daughter and my daughter decided they were one and the same and couldn’t go a week without hanging out. I’ve watched her family grow and eventually get hijacked by mental illness when it jumped all over her oldest child. In part 1 I share my own personal experience with depression and how I coped. I also ask many questions that I just don’t feel are answered in typical daily life. Please note that neither Donna, nor myself are a licensed professional in the mental health field we are just lay people sharing our experiences as we hope to progress and create a better world for those dealing with these diseases.
