Twilla Farrally pleads for more mental health facilities to help others like her.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Recent studies show Alaska Natives and American Indians suffer more depression and cases of mental illness than any other group in the country.. She’s now at McLaughlin Youth Center. Being an Alaska Native, her parents tried enrolling her in specialized services, but the waitlist was too long, so they gave up.Eighteen-year-old Twilla Farrally has had it rough. She was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and spent much of her time living in the shadows.
“The anxiety, depression, and just the anger that she just doesn’t know how to control or deal with,” Twilla’s mother, Sonia Farrally, said. “They tried,” Farrally said. “But it was like just — they didn’t know how to deal with my emotions, my anger, my frustrations.” But even workers there couldn’t seem to get through, so when Farrally returned home, her family searched for support in Anchorage.
