Episode 16: Anxiety and Depression with PTSD

This is the 4th episode of the Survivors Have Paid Enough series, where we explore eight areas of health and dive into how survivors of sexual violence have all areas of their lives impacted by the trauma they’ve experienced.  We started this series by exploring how mental health is affected by sexual violence. We started by taking a deep dive into PTSD. We followed up with last month’s episode, where we explained what some symptoms of PTSD look like. This episode, we are specifically looking at another facet of impact to mental health through two PTSD symptoms—anxiety and depression. We’ll look at how these manifest, the interplay between the two, and what it looks like to take steps to address them.
