Scenario

When family members share mental health struggles and trigger each other

My teenage daughter and I both have depression and we've been going to therapy separately but living together is still really hard — when one of us is having a bad day it seems to pull the other one down and I don't know if we're helping each other heal or just enabling each other to stay stuck.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people with similar conditions are discovering that proximity and care don't automatically translate to mutual healing.
