Description
In this episode of the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast, we'll be taking a deep dive into a topic that has sadly been coming up more and more in national news and deserves our attention: Postpartum Psychosis. These news stories have shed light on the impact of postpartum psychosis and brought this issue to the forefront of our minds, highlighting the importance of awareness and understanding. We'll be joined by my friend Erica Djossa, a maternal mental health expert and past guest, who will provide valuable insights, education, awareness, and support on this difficult topic. In today's discussion, we aim to strike a balance between raising awareness and providing reassurance. We want to ensure that our listeners are well-informed about postpartum psychosis, its red flags, and preventive measures. However, we also want to avoid fear-mongering; postpartum psychosis is a relatively rare condition! After this episode, you can keep learning about maternal mental health in EP142: Mental Health in Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Motherhood with Dr. Ashurina Ream and in EP157: Discussing Perinatal Mental Health with Perinatal Psychiatrist, Nichelle Haynes.
