Scenario

When family living situations amplify everyone's mental health struggles

My adult son moved back home after his divorce and we're both dealing with depression but in completely different ways - he sleeps all day and I clean obsessively - and living together is making us both worse. We love each other but we're triggering each other's unhealthiest coping mechanisms.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Proximity can intensify rather than soothe individual suffering when coping mechanisms clash and create cycles of mutual triggering.
