Learning how to navigate your mental health after a spinal cord injury can be one of the most difficult things after becoming paralyzed. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, you're not alone. Going through such a traumatic event that is so life-changing can take years, if not a lifetime, to come to terms with.
