Summary

Commonly called postpartum depression but more accurately referred to as postpartum disorder. It's regularly misunderstood as simple depression but runs the gamut from anxiety to psychosis.

It's really hilarious, and I appreciated them covering my request.

1:22.9

On this week's episode, I've spoken with two separate guests about postpartum disorder.

1:30.0

One of the interviews got destroyed by Skype because technology happens, so we had to redo it,

1:37.8

which delayed this episode way longer than I wanted it to. This is a topic that, obviously, I don't know much about,

the peripheral. So I felt it was appropriate that I come back and ask her to share her story.

2:20.3

My name is Hannah. I'm here to talk about my experience with postpartum.
