In this episode, I sit down with registered clinical counsellor, Haley Gershony to discuss: 

• The meaning of terms; baby blues, anxiety, depression and why “perinatal mood disorders” is preferred
• What symptoms are considered “normal” and “not normal"
• The many reasons expecting and new moms experience these feelings 
• The negative stigma around mental health 
• How your mental and physical healthy influence one another
• Actionable steps to address your symptoms
• Ways to be proactive during pregnancy
