Katrina's story of Recovery

Katrina was only 19 when she had her first child and experienced postnatal depression. As such, she remained in the family home where she got the support of her parents and a loving close-knit family.

However, when she fell into depression after her second child, it took her to Graylands Hospital where she spent a prolonged period of time.  Her mother parented her children while she was away.
