“I just don’t feel like myself;” “I’m afraid of everything;” “I think I’m going crazy!” These are a just a few of the things you might hear in your mind when facing a maternal mental health crisis, like depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, or even, at the extreme, psychosis. Maternal mental health is complex and can change at a moment’s notice, especially in vulnerable times like major life stress, grief, pregnancy, childbirth, or perimenopause. Today we’re tackling this important but often neglected topic of how to safely navigate a mom mental health crisis. My guest, mental health advocate and author of A Mother’s Climb Out of Darkness, Jennifer Moyer, is sharing her personal and professional experiences of how to not only overcome a crisis (which, for her, was postpartum psychosis), but how to “become, and flourish” as a result. We’re talking about using our life trials to become self-advocates and forces for good in our homes, communities, and world.
