PMADs 101: Managing Postpartum Anxiety & Depression with Rachel Brabec

In this episode of Omaha Mom Talks, I'm joined by therapist, perinatal mental health expert, and a personal friend Rachel Brabec to discuss PMADs (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders). We break down what PMADs are, how to recognize symptoms like postpartum depression and anxiety, and when to seek support. Rachel also shares her personal postpartum journey and expert advice on navigating postpartum mental health, addressing common myths, and building a strong support system. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone in this season of life, this episode is for you. Remember, you’re not alone and help is available.
