Full of raw emotion, it puts the spotlight on the star after she pleaded guilty to a dramatic drink-driving crash in which she flipped her BMW while banned from flying in September.
Before the incident, Katie was diagnosed with PTSD in 2018 and checked into The Priory for 28 days for treatment.
She told her new TV show that her “demon in me” was her mental health and said her children were the ones who pulled her over the edge.
In a raw quote to the camera, she said: “All I saw were the faces of the children and I never want that to happen again.”
Continuing to talk about her struggles, she said: “I went into severe depression a few years ago, depression on top of PTSD.
“I was suicidal, I didn’t want to be here.
“When I have a sad moment [mental health demon] comes out But I have to keep him at bay because he knows.
“He caught me once when I was weak, and he can always be there, control him.”
Katy previously opened up exclusively to The Sun about the reasons for her stay in rehab.
She said: “It wasn’t about drugs or drink or anything like that. I had severe PTSD because I couldn’t deal with all the crap that was going on.
“I couldn’t cope, so I asked for help and I’m proud that I did. I told my family, “That’s not me.” Things were really, really bad. I went to the doctor and said, “Help me.”
Her therapist encouraged her to get rid of the toxic people in her life, and she ended up stronger and ready to start over.
“I’m just lucky to have such a good family. I am the warrior, the survivor. I got over it and can tolerate anything now. Hell, if I didn’t break then, I never will.
“I know I’m in the public eye, but what the hell.
“I’m still a human being. I’m not a robot.”
She spoke about her treatment at the infamous Priory, adding: “It’s amazing. I wish everyone could go. I wish I was there all the time. I think a lot of people missed me [when she finished her treatment] for I sanctified it.
“I would try to be a joker there so it wouldn’t be all painful. It’s just how I am. Some people were so depressed they didn’t mumble a word, but I got a smile from them because I like to bring people out of their shells.
“I bring out the best in people.”
Katie Price: Trauma And Me airs on Thursday 8 September at 9pm on Channel 4.
