Chirlane McCray talks daughter’s mental health – NY Daily News.

In her most extensive comments yet on her daughter’s mental health and drug problems, New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray said Wednesday that her whole way of thinking changed when she first learned of Chiara’s struggles.

In a deeply personal speech announcing a new city mental health initiative, McCray said she was stunned to learn that her popular and seemingly well-adjusted daughter was dealing with “depression, anxiety and substance abuse.”
