Summary

At least 20% of women experience some type of postpartum depression. Danielle was one of those sufferers, and was burdened with an extreme mental illness throughout her first pregnancy and even after her child was born. In this episode, Danielle and Adam discuss so many aspects of maternal mental health with fellow PPD sufferer and motherhood blogger, Jen Schwartz. As always, they are honest and forthcoming while sharing their own unique experiences with the topic. What are the signals that indicate someone might be a potential sufferer? What can the spouse, friends, and family do to support the mom going through it? What are some resources out there to help? What happens when a new mom suffers from PPD, OCD and psychosis? This is a conversation you won't want to miss, no matter who you are. Let's work together to end the stigma. We can start by educating ourselves on the subject.
