A Fireside Chat about Pre- & Post-Natal Depression and Postpartum Psychosis
It's not uncommon for people who have given birth to experience post-natal depression, sometimes called "baby blues" -- which actually downplays the dramatic effect it can have on one's life. But even if they know the possible signs and symptoms, due to the way our society works, they usually believe THEY are the problem, THEY are being a bad mother or parent and that they should get their act together and cope with it all alone.
Let's call BS on that!
My guest and peer Teresa Hawkes bravely shares her own story of pre- and post-natal depression and postpartum psychosis with us, and how she moved through the darkest period of her life. Today she encourages people to get the support they need and tries to leave a little sparkle wherever she goes, giving others hope that things CAN get better.
