In a raw interview with Nia, mum of two, Nia reflects on the range of challenges that she faced on her journey to becoming a mother, and how these are likely to have contributed to her experience of postnatal depression. Nia talks candidly about the lack of awareness that something was wrong, as, like many parents, she thought her experiences were simply part and parcel of 'motherhood'. She openly talks about about her feelings of shame and failure, and how her treatment by health professionals compounded her experience, and delayed help-seeking.
