S6-E36: "Breaking Family Silence on OCD and Depression" - Lauren Henry Brehm | The Vibe With Ky Podcast


Listen Later

What happens when a family builds their entire life around untreated OCD? In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, Ky talks with author Lauren Henry Brehm about her book The French Court: Essays from One Family’s Legacy of Mental Illness.

Lauren shares how her grandmother’s compulsions shaped three generations, why silence became the family rule, and how writing gave her the courage to tell the truth. She opens up about living with depression, suicidal ideation, and receiving an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis late in life. Her story shows the cost of untreated mental illness and the hope that comes with compassion.

This conversation will make you reflect on your own family story and remind you that healing is a process worth walking.
