Secret Anguish: My Mental Health Journey

When the author was a young girl, she experienced her father having mood swings and this created an unsettled environment for her to grow up in. She was anxious and very uncertain of her father and wondering which mood he would be in and this happened every day. But Janis noticed when she grew older she had not only anxiety but she was having mood swings as well. She went and got help and was put on medications and took a test that showed she was not only dealing with generalized anxiety disorder, but depression, depersonalization, borderline personality disorder, and unspecified bipolar disorder with psychosis. This made her wonder if her father suffered from some of the same mood disorders. Only a conversation with him would tell.
