NEW YORK (WABC) -- Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's 19 year old daughter, Chiara, is admitting she has been battling depression and substance abuse.
She made the admission in a video posted on Christmas Eve.
Bill and Chirlane de Blasio released the following statement: As parents, our instinct has been to protect our daughter and privately help her through a deeply personal struggle. But not only has Chiara committed to her own health, she is also committed to helping young people everywhere who face similar challenges.
Her courage to speak out demonstrates a wisdom and maturity far beyond her 19 years, and we are grateful every day for her commitment to lifting up those who need to know that they are not alone.

I pray and hope she gets the help she needs; there are many teens like her in the city that are battling depression and substance abuse
