Healthy As A Mother

All About Postpartum Rage with Dr. Alice Pickering PsyD | #90


Listen Later

Postpartum rage is something many women experience but few talk about.


In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with perinatal mental health psychologist Dr. Alice Pickering to explore what postpartum rage is, why it happens, and how it can show up in early motherhood. While many people are familiar with postpartum depression and anxiety, rage can be a lesser known but equally important piece of the postpartum mental health picture.


They discuss both the emotional and physiological factors that can contribute to postpartum rage, including hormone shifts, sleep deprivation, stress, and nervous system overload. You will also learn how to recognize the signs, understand what your body may be trying to communicate, and explore supportive options for managing and treating these symptoms.


Both Dr. Morgan and Dr. Alice share their personal experiences to help normalize this often hidden part of motherhood and remind you that you are not alone.


If you have experienced intense irritability, anger, or emotional overwhelm postpartum, this episode will help you better understand what is happening and where to find support.
