S2E5 - Terrianne Hicks

This episode of FYI - All Things Mental Wellness is powered by Border Carpets https://bordercarpets.com.au

Terrianne Hicks lives in Country Victoria, she is married, and has three beautiful healthy young girls. She is vivacious, brave and full of life! What else would a woman want?

Unfortunately, though her eldest daughter began fighting a battle that was going to not only change her own life as she knew it, but the life of her entire family.

Terrianne (with her Daughter’s approval) openly shares with us the heartbreak, the ups the downs, and everything in between living with Anorexia Nervosa and Purging. What life looked like in the darkest hours, how they got through each day, and how they navigated the mental health system.

Thank goodness Terrianne is a fighter and resilient because she required plenty of fight to wade through our mental health system that unfortunately still today is grossly underfunded compared to physical health system.
