In this episode of #OurAnxietyStories Kelly shares how his journey with anxiety began with his daughter, Kaitlin, who was diagnosed with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in 2005. After learning about anxiety while supporting his daughter, he recognized that he had similar experiences as well, and sought out support from a mental health professional.
