210: My Daughter's Story: A Christian Teen's Journey Through Depression, Suicide + Eating Disorders
Manage episode 363988101 series 2801548
Trigger warning: This episode discusses teen depression and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, you are not alone. If you are in crisis, please call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or dial 911.
Recently, the CDC released a statistic that blew my mind - nearly 3 in 5 teen girls say that they feel persistently sad or hopeless. While these numbers certainly spiked during COVID, they remain elevated while we continue to deal with the after effects of COVID’s impact on mental health across the board.
In today’s episode, I am sitting down with my teenage daughter Susie to discuss her mental health journey and how it has impacted our family as a whole over the last six months.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
[06:12] About Susie
[06:56] A look into Susie’s mental health journey
[09:33] What sparked Susie’s depression spiral and eating disorder
[14:45] Looking back to Susie’s darkest season
[18:23] Susie’s experience at a treatment facility
[25:04] Her major breakthrough while at the treatment center
[26:45] What provoked Susie’s rededication to God
[28:50] How Susie has progressed since leaving the treatment center
[31:28] Struggles that Susie is still facing post treatment
[32:17] Why so many teen girls struggle with body image
