Manage episode 348908628 series 3423359
Hello everyone, welcome to The Christina Crowe Podcast, where we connect the dots in search for more balanced mental health. Today, we are making invisible things visible for people who grew up with a mentally ill parent at home, perhaps one of the last taboos. We are joined by psychotherapist Erika Belledent who helps shine a light on some of the invisible baggage many of us are hauling around.
We cover:
- What are the consequences of growing up with family members that are struggling with mental illness?
- Are all kids with mentally ill parents neglected?
- What is it like growing up with parents who have undiagnosed ADHD?
- Are some mental illnesses more serious than others?
Resources mentioned in the show:

- Read about the complicated relationship between ADHD, family history and trauma.
- Read about Late-Diagnosed ADHD and Shame.
