My Experience with Postpartum Depression
In this episode, Emily shares her experience with postpartum depression after her first baby. She talks about her symptoms, misconceptions about depression, how the things she'd heard about being a new mom like "it's hard" made those months very confusing, the final straw, how she got help, and how she's doing now. As a reminder, we are not medical professionals this podcast is simply Emily's experience. This does not replace proper medical attention! Please reach out to a professional mental health professional if you are struggling.
