I never wanted to be a statistic that was plastered onto a wall and screamed, “Every 1 in 4 teens experiences some form of depression!” It just ran in my family. So, of the three children that my parents had, One of us was bound to grab onto the DNA strand that had ‘mental illness’ etched onto it in the form of a pill. It was the luck of the draw and I was the one sentenced to life in a hell that my own brain created.
