In this episode I am joined by Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, MD who is a board-certified psychiatrist and writer specializing in women's mental health and perinatal psychiatry and a contributor to The New York Times Parenting section. On today’s episode we discuss the mental crisis parents are facing during this Pandemic. We talk about the increase in anxiety & depression during these times for parents and expecting parents as well. We also discuss something called MARTYR MODE that a lot of parents, especially mothers, go through. She shares with us tangible tips and things parents can do during this time of crisis.
