Arianna: Hey everyone! I'm a 23-year-old college student who was born with KTS (Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome). At 18, I was hit really hard with anxiety and depression. I am fortunate to have had support from amazing professionals and family during that time.I want those who are also struggling with chronic/mental illness to know there is indeed hope for them, which is why I am majoring in psychology at Merrimack College. ( : In terms of this blog, I hope to garner awareness as to what Klippel is and the emotional toll it can have on its patients/family members. I am treated by the outstanding Vascular Anomalies team at Children's Hospital Boston.
