'Mom-Brain' or ADHD? Unpacking Postpartum Mental Health with Dr. Anna Burns


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode of "Strong & Beautiful," we sit down with Dr. Anna Burns, PT, to talk about the growing number of women being diagnosed with ADHD after having children. Many moms chalk up their mental fog and forgetfulness to "mom-brain," but could there be something more going on? Dr. Burns shares her insights on how the mental processing changes after childbirth might be worsening and even revealing ADHD in some women.

We’ll dive into the difference between typical postpartum brain changes and ADHD, what signs to look for, and why so many women are being diagnosed later in life—often after becoming mothers. If you’ve ever felt like your brain just isn't working the same way it used to, this episode might help you better understand what’s happening and when to seek help.

Tune in for this important conversation on mental health, motherhood, and how to advocate for yourself in the face of life-changing transitions!
