Ep 12 "Life After Postpartum Depression" - Zahara M.


Listen Later

Postpartum Depression is a very serious illness. The feelings and intensity of depression last much longer than those regular  "baby blues". It is one of the most common experiences after childbirth, with anywhere between 10% - 20% of women going through it.


In a world where mental health illness is always swept under the rug, Postpartum depression is often misunderstood by others, such as friends, partners, and family members.

Patients are often told to "Cheer up" or be "grateful for the birth". This makes the symptoms worse as new mothers tend to feel isolated and confused as to why they are going through such misery.

Being the touchy topic as it is, we decide to bring on a very special guest to talk about her experience surviving this condition not once but twice. Zahara has an inspirational story as she dives deep into her personal story growing up, facing racism, fighting depression, and coming out on top.

She gives great advice for those going through the same trouble. So stay check out the full episode and don't forget to share!
