Description

In this episode Alin and Colby discuss how having an organ transplant and chronic illness can have a significant impact on your mental health. May is mental health awareness month so this seemed like an excellent time to dive into this subject. Colby and Alin both share their personal experience with anxiety and depression surrounding their illness. References:https://journals.lww.com/transplantjournal/fulltext/2013/10150/Mental_Health_Disorders_and_Solid_Organ_Transplant.3.aspxhttps://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/pn.46.15.psychnews_46_15_10_1
