It’s been estimated that 15%-20% of parents experience postpartum depression, anxiety and stress. Note that these are only the numbers of folks who have reported. The reality is these numbers can be rather larger than estimated. In understanding these statistics, we are going to discuss the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression, anxiety and stress and how we can seek help. Often experiencing this can feel isolating, overwhelming and anxiety inducing. We will talk about these common scenarios. It’s essential to know which thoughts are common scary thoughts and which thoughts are recommended to be supported with a medical professional. 

Today on Yoga | Birth | Babies, we have Karen Kleiman to discuss this topic. She is a well known international mental health expert with over 35 years of experience. She is also an author of a number of groundbreaking books. Karen is also the founder of The Postpartum Stress Center and The Karen Kleiman Training Center.

Karen offers wonderful insight about postpartum depression, anxiety and stress. So much is packed into this conversation, but there is so much value in learning about it. I am really excited for you to listen to today’s offerings. My hope is this information can provide you additional resources of support and hope.
