Monika's 5-Year Mental Health Battle Ends in Disability Recognition
After a five-year battle with mental health issues, Monika Girard, a 56-year-old former seamstress, has finally received disability recognition. Her journey involved multiple hospital stays and attempts to return to work.
Monika's struggle began with a breakdown, leading to her first hospitalisation. Over the next five years, she underwent numerous treatments and tried to maintain employment in various roles, including at an adhesive tape factory, as a cleaner, and in a nursing home.
