As a young adult, Lea was diagnosed with PTSD, Bipolar 1, and severe anxiety. For years, she took medication and went to therapy while simultaneously suffering from brutal headaches and other strange side-effects. After a brain scan that should have been ordered 20 years earlier, the doctors discovered she had two meningiomas growing around her spine and brain. Lea joined us on Mental Illness and Me while in recovery from her fifth brain surgery and discussed how she copes with her mental illnesses while also dealing with two continuously growing brain tumors.
