An informed consumer is what you need to be, and if you are not in the position to be an informed consumer, then you need someone to act as your advocate, as someone who can stay abreast of these treatment options that are available.
How do you find hope when grappling with mental illness? Carol Kivler knows this struggle all too well. In this compelling episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods welcomes Carol, a mental health advocate who has battled depression and anxiety for over a decade. Carol opens up about her journey, sharing the highs and lows, and the strategies that have helped her maintain her recovery.
She discusses the crucial role of family support and advocacy in her healing process. Carol also sheds light on her experience with shock therapy, a treatment that played a significant part in her recovery. Through her non-profit, Courageous Recovery, Carol aims to raise awareness, combat stigma, and instill hope in others facing similar battles. This episode is a beacon for anyone touched by mental illness, offering practical advice and inspiration to keep moving forward.
