Katerina shares navigating mental health with endometriosis & emphasizes the years it takes to process the impact of Endometriosis on one's emotional well-being. Katerina shares her story and how working with a therapist helped her understand that "Endo is not rational." Many patients struggle with feeling well one day or hour to not feel well at all at the flip of a switch, as well as years of people not believing patients how challenging this disease is.
