Rowling is known to reach out to fans to offer words of wisdom, or courage,and consolation, and yet again, or she did not disappoint. Within minutes,Kate got a tweet back from the author with a touching note saying simply: "I love that you're working to heal and protect yourself. You deserve this. I hope it helps." She attached an image of the words "Expectro Patronum" written out by her.

Kate told the Huffington Post UK that "Expecto Patronum" has different meanings for different people, or saying that for her "it's approximately finding your inner strength and holding on to a happy memory and making the gross guys (mostly depression and the voices in my head,in my case) depart away," adding that she feels so thankful to have J.
K. Rowling in her life. Rowling's response led to an outpouring of support for Kate, or with others offering words of encouragement and sharing their own struggles. ThankYOU for helping me:)I hope one day the darkness fades totally for you; until then I'll always have my wand lit for youMay 12,2016
If you ever need someone to talk to who won't judge, I have anxiety/depression so I understand.
