There are significant ways that pregnancy and birth can shake our mental health. What can cause postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis? Who can you turn to for help and support to pull you out of what can be an isolating experience? And what happens when the doctor's office itself causes even more anxiety? Host Frantzces Lys first speaks with a doula and a reproductive psychologist on navigating mental health during pregnancy and how we can recognize the symptoms of postpartum disorders. Then Frantzces hears from a mom and patient advocate who navigated postpartum herself.Dr. Shari Lusskin is a clinical professor of psychiatry, obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
