Mother, Daughter and the Black Cloud of Depression
Manage episode 326189729 series 3311174
On the outside, Holly was a confident, quiet achiever and a perfectionist.
But on the inside, she had been living with anxiety from a very young age.
Holly didn't tell anyone that she was struggling with her mental health.
Until, at age 18, she finally opened up to a friend and to her mum. She told them that she didn't want to live anymore.
This is a raw, honest and compelling look inside the struggle facing thousands of Aussie families.
