Amanda Burrill was told she was suffering from depression and anxiety for over a decade. What she was really suffering from was a misdiagnosis. In this episode, Amanda, a veteran Navy officer, and professional endurance athlete, teaches us the importance of fighting for your right to live a healthy life. We discuss what to do when we are told our symptoms and experiences aren’t real, how to get the help you need and deserve, and how Amanda's perspective on what success looks like has changed following her injuries.
