This year has brought a lot of changes we weren’t ready for, moms, and this episode brings on Dr. Saba Maroof, MD, a very busy psychiatrist whose work tripled as a result of the pandemic! She’s seen a lot and has had her pulse on the Muslim American psyche pre-pandemic, but there are some specific Muslim mental health needs she’s seeing arise as a result of the lockdown. Let’s address what the hang-ups are in the Muslim community, as well as without it, about mental health, address the burdens of motherhood that put her mental health needs on the back burner and further at risk of crisis, and figure out how to identify what we can and cannot control of our emotions and minds. Don’t wait until it gets out of hand, ya’ll! If you FEEL something is off, DO something ASAP.Find out the names of what you might be feeling and let us know, “How YOU doin?”Links:https://youtu.be/NrB8Iamo0OAFind Dr. Saba Maroof, MD on IG: @artofpsychiatryThe COVID Cloud by Dr. Jessi Gold, MD, MS: https://www.instyle.com/lifestyle/covid-cloud-concentration-memory-issues Find a Muslim therapist: https://muslimmentalhealth.com/directory/ or try https://seemamentalhealth.com/find-a-therapist/ FREE Physician Support Line for doctors coping with coronavirus staffed by volunteer psychiatrists helping their colleagues on the front lines: 1-888-409-0141, non-physicians can dial “1” for help and physicians can dial “2” to get someone to meet their specific needsAmerican Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for resources on COVID coping for adults: https://www.aacap.org/ Child Mind Institute: https://childmind.org/ American Psychological Association: https://www.apa.org/The Jed Foundation: https://www.jedfoundation.org/?gclid=CjwKCAiA_eb-BRB2EiwAGBnXXsmMEvh6EtxIztbu6v6Ce48r2HaYobw_GKbQEoFdfgQz0rJM9dqheBoCcCYQAvD_BwE  Minnesota Masjid 2017 bombing story: https://www.npr.org/2020/12/09/944870427/militia-group-leader-guilty-of-minnesota-mosque-pipe-bomb-attack Web: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: mommyingwhilemuslim@gmail.comFB: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mommyingwhilemuslimpodcast)
