CForYourself: Mental health and cystic fibrosis

Living with cystic fibrosis (CF) means more than just a set of physical symptoms - it can also have an impact on our mental and emotional wellbeing. In this episode, our guest Sarah talks openly and honestly about how CF has affected her mental health; from struggling to fit in as teenager, to the complicated emotions she's experienced since taking Kaftrio. We also hear from CF psychologist Dr Maya Bowri, who shares her advice for what to do if you're struggling with your mental health.
