Katey Roshetko: Breaking the Silence on Mental Health

Keep inventory of my blessings so I don't get spiraled into my have-nots instead of focusing on what I do have.
Katey Roshetko, a dedicated reporter from WDBJ 7 in southwest Virginia, shares her candid and inspiring mental health journey in this episode of 'Dissect & Connect'. Growing up within the church, Katey faced not only the usual life challenges but also battled depression, anxiety, and frequent panic attacks. She opens up about how her faith, while a cornerstone in her life, sometimes led to misconceptions that impacted her mental well-being.
Katey's love for storytelling has become her tool for breaking the silence around mental health. She bravely discusses the significant transitions in her life, like moving and starting new jobs, which often exacerbated her struggles. Through therapy and a professional diagnosis, Katey learned to prioritize her mental health and self-care. Her story is a powerful reminder of how common mental health issues are and the importance of addressing them openly.
She encourages others to keep track of their blessings and find joy in sharing their stories. Katey's journey offers hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar issues.
