On today's episode, Alex talks to us about her experience with Graves' Disease, Anxiety and Depression, and what came first- "the chicken or the egg?" She discusses her traumatic experience as a teenager who was not believed, told to diet, exercise more, and "go enjoy your summer". Alex's experience of gaslighting paired with the lack of exposure and knowledge of anxiety and depression prolonged her diagnosis and healing, and is unfortunately a common theme among people with non-apparent illnesses.
