E3 - Maternal Mental Health

In this episode of "Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts," we spoke about the crucial topic of maternal mental health. We provided a brief overview of common postpartum mood disorders, shared our personal experiences with baby blues and postpartum anxiety, and discussed factors that can exacerbate postpartum mental health issues. We talked about the importance of seeking help, exploring various forms of support from medical treatment to hiring a postpartum doula, and the power of asking for (and accepting!) help from family and friends. This was an open and vulnerable conversation, and we hope that, if you're a new mom, it will make you feel seen and not alone 😊If you feel like you might be experiencing some postpartum mental health issues, and you want a mama friend to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to us.Support the showLet's hang out! 🎙️ Follow Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts for more conversations on academia, motherhood, and mindful living.
