The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is the latest in a long, long line of mothers (and humans in general) who have faced massive life changes and the mental health struggles that can come along with them. 

In today's episode, counselor Amanda Banks discusses the basics of post partum mental health - from the definitions of anxiety and depression to specific tips for those of us hoping to help hurting friends. 

If you're struggling, please reach out to your OB or family doctor. You can find further resources at postpartum.com, the website of Post Partum Support International.
