Awareness, Support & Treatment!

Greg and Dan talk with Dr. Barbara Toohill, therapist with The Antioch Group, about recent stories in the news involving Hayden Panettiere and Lindsay Clancy and the larger conversation surrounding postpartum mental health. Dr. Toohill discusses what people need to understand about conditions that can occur during pregnancy and after childbirth, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and postpartum psychosis, as well as when symptoms can develop and how the conditions differ from one another. She also explains how awareness and understanding have grown over the past decade and emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms and seeking professional help, with treatment and support potentially including counseling, social support, medication, and adequate sleep.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
