Taking Postpartum Mental Health Seriously; Episode 274

This week's episode is focused on the need for better postpartum mental health support in the United States, prompted by the recent death of actress Hayden Panettiere. I share a personal story about my ex-wife's struggle with postpartum depression and addiction, highlighting the lack of awareness and resources available to new parents. The healthcare system in the United States is failing and has failed to adequately address postpartum issues and called for more social workers and mental health professionals in hospitals. I also touched on the broader societal need for prevention rather than reaction and encouraged advocacy and voting for change.Follow the podcast on Instagram at   / thesocialworkrantspodcast  #mentalhealth #socialwork #postpartum #haydenpanettiere
