In a preview for the upcoming episode of 22 Kids and Counting, Josh Radford has opened up about his struggle with agoraphobia. The 22-year-old confessed that life has become increasingly stressful as he has grown older.
During the episode, Josh's father Noel expressed concern after Josh had a 'funny turn' and said he couldn't breathe. A specialist later confirmed that Josh's symptoms qualify for a diagnosis of agoraphobia, as he has stopped accessing life outside the home.
Josh admitted, 'I never would have guessed I'd have the problems I have now. It's hard to say, like, oh, I'm struggling.' He hopes that sharing his story will encourage others to open up and seek help.
Meanwhile, Josh's sister Sophie also faced challenges, revealing she had been bottling up her emotions. She broke down in tears during filming, explaining that she didn't want to burden her parents with her problems.
