Pawku returns to talk about how she went through depression as a refugee from the Karen tribe in Myanmar. She, her parents, and 4 other siblings left Myanmar in 1997 and lived in a refugee camp in Thailand for 10 years before they came to the U.S. How did she encounter depression? How did she get healed?
