We have another story from our Reclaim Our Voice program with Trish from Mental Health Talk. Told with lyrics from some of her favourite songs, TC shares her mental health story including suicide attempts, mania, “snapping” episodes and depression. After a broken marriage and falling hard in and out of love, she began medication in her 40s and is now mostly able to manage her episodes. Currently one of her biggest challenges is the emotional and physical abuse she experiences living with a father with dementia.
