Healing from a postpartum mood disorder tragedy: The Emily Effect

Utah mom, Emily Cook Dyches was killed on I-15 in Utah county in an auto-pedestrian accident five years ago. She experienced a panic attack after having severe postpartum anxiety. Since then, her sister Megan Johnson started The Emily Effect, a non-profit to help raise awareness around maternal mental health and resources for getting help. Megan shares Emily's story as well as many of the signs and symptoms of postpartum mood disorders, and how to find help.  Host Lindsay Aerts shares her experience with postpartum anxiety too. The Emily Effect recently teamed up with Stiry to produce a new video about Emily's story, and hopes to share other moms' stories soon. See our website for privacy information.
