Hey guys and I want to episode 204 of the OcD Stories.com podcast.

And this episode I interview Karina Dash.

Karina is a licensed therapist based in Colorado.

And she's been on the show before,

and I got her on this time to talk about postpart and my CD.

And in this episode she talks about what is postpart and MOCD, some of the obsessions and compulsions around this theme,

the treatment for postpart of and how loved ones and family can support those people with OCD dealing with

this particular theme and she covers much much more.

So I hope you find this episode useful and without forever ado here is

Karina. Welcome back to the show Karina.

Stigma I think because there's a lot of education and there's a lot of talk about it and so it becomes understood that it's common to feel stressed out and sad and lonely and tired after having a baby because it's a very difficult thing to do.

into something that's a little more severe and be seen as clinical

depression. We know that as postpartum depression.

It's like one in seven women experience postpartum depression.
