About this listen

In this episode, we hear from Victoria, 14, about what it’s like to live with a chronic illness and how it affects her mental health. “Being stuck in hospital and at home since I got sick has made me feel more upset… like I’m kind of useless to society.” Siew Koo, Clinical Psychologist at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, shares expert insights on how young people can manage these feelings and why supporting the emotional side of long-term illness is just as important as physical treatment.
