Perinatal Mental Health - It's Not Just Postpartum Depression

In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Michelle Iversen discusses Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) along with special guest Samantha Huguelet, DNP, APRN, PMH-C . Samantha has been an advanced practice nurse for over 20 years, and has worked in perinatal mental health for the last 12.

She is also on one of the director boards and is a faculty member for Postpartum Support International.
