SHATIERA AMANKRAH: Unexplained Infertility, Depression & Why Mental Health Care Can't Wait for the Baby

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode, we're sitting down with Shatiera Amankrah — a Perinatal Mental Health-Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is connected to PSI in so many ways, and who brings both clinical expertise and her own lived experience with infertility to this conversation. We’ll chat about isolation and depression, unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, why perinatal mental health care needs to start long before the positive test, and the power of boundaries, self-love, and community support — among many other topics. Grab a pen and paper, or open a new note on your phone, because Shatiera came ready to share resources! So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Shatiera.Mentioned on today's episode:PSI's Peer Support Groups@theperioddoctorPodcast: Reality With The KingWatching: The PittRESOLVE: The National Infertility AssociationASRM: The American Society for Reproductive MedicineThe Cade FoundationThe Broken Brown EggConnect with ShatieraInterested in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!
