Goodwill Works: Meet Tenille

Being a teenager is difficult in the best of situations but a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, severe anxiety, and manic depression, can almost make life devastating. Tabitha “Tenille” Ochoa was this teenager labeled with these disabilities. She spent a great deal of time during her teen years in and out of hospitals. During this time, she required medications to address the specific diagnosis symptoms. Relationships within the family were tested and her ability to look to the future was bleak.
