Post-Natal Depression

I’m with guest, Samantha Amakihe, about Postnatal depression and her experience soon after the birth of her child. We discuss what led to it and what helped the situation turn around. 

Questions include:

• Leading up to the birth of your child how were you feeling?
• After the birth of your child when did you realise that something wasn’t right?
• What were your symptoms of post natal depression?
• What support (if any) did you have?
• How did your friends and family try to you with post natal depression?
• How did you get through the depression?
• How long did the post-natal depression last?
• What advice would you give to someone who is struggling to overcome postnatal depression?
• What advice would you give to a spouse/partner/good friend of someone who is experiencing postnatal depression?
• Any advice to a newly expectant mother? 
• Bible verses to meditate on and help spiritual wellbeing.

Marylayo's spiritual wellbeing tip: Meditate on the bible scriptures: John 10:10 and 2 Corinthians 12.9.

Take a moment to delve into what may be 'beyond the smile' - listen in to the conversation.

Guest details: Samantha is a Christian, a wife and mother of two beautiful children.
