The beginning of Joey's crash was preceded by an onslaught of extreme anxiety at a whole new level he'd never experienced. Pricilla was in New York City when it happened while Joey was at home solo parenting. Our friend Chip Judd (pastor and therapist), one of the few who walked this path with us up close and personal, shares his expertise of physiological depression, reflects on what he saw and experienced with Joey and Pricilla during this dark season, and touches on the need for the mental health field to humanize people. Chip sees this depressive episode as something out of Joey's control (with one exception), Pricilla describes the lack of dignity given to the mentally ill and Joey reflects on his lifestyle and whether that was the culprit of his downward spiral. Series Description: This time a little over a year ago, our world was turned upside down by Joey’s mental health crash. We want to tell our story of suffering as well as the beauty amidst the suffering. From Joey’s week-stay at the hospital to our kids learning first-hand about mental illness, to natural worries of how long this all would last, we had a family that surrounded us, hope that filled my heart, a new closeness and a new beginning – Pricilla
