0:00.0	Oh my god, episode 195. What am I going to do for 200? That's pretty big. 200 is coming up
0:09.2	five more weeks. Holy cow. This week, my friend Amy Clayton, who's been on here before
0:15.5	and is a licensed psychotherapist is here with my sister-in-law Coddy and we're talking about
0:21.0	postpartum depression. I am so happy for this episode. I've been trying to do this episode for a while
0:26.2	and these two busy ladies and myself all have very busy schedules and it's taken us a while
0:31.6	to get our schedules to line up and finally they did. Yay! And I think we had a great conversation
0:38.2	about postpartum, about the symptoms of the differences between postpartum and baby blues and
0:44.1	and postpartum psychosis. We talk about anxiety, generalized anxiety, we talk about going to therapy,

1:44.9	probably ask just about any medical doctor to screen you for postpartum depression or depression
1:50.1	and anxiety in general. And anytime is the time, you could be seven months, have a seven month
1:57.5	old and still suffer from postpartum, it can just start then as well. It doesn't have to happen
2:02.9	right after you have a baby. And postpartum is something that is temporary. So it's definitely worth
2:10.2	getting help. If you feel you have symptoms of postpartum. I am so grateful to Amy and Coddy
