We may think that a mental health crisis can only happen to someone else, but the Coronavirus Pandemic has given many of us a greater understanding of how fragile our mental health can be.  Just after graduating college and losing a beloved grandmother, Claudia knew her mental health was declining, but nothing could have prepared her for the unexpected reaction she had to a trusted antidepressant medication.  

 

She generously shares with us about her experience with frightening and dangerous panic attacks, the week she spent in a hospital psychiatric ward and her gradual recovery from an overwhelmingly scary experience.
