It was postpartum depression, it was postpartum onset, bipolar disorder, and it was psychosis. I don't even know if that's the right word to use, but the higher end of postpartum depression gets very serious. So it's a really important story for people to hear.
Ever wondered what it's like to face the darkest corners of postpartum mental health?

Rachel doesn't hold back as she shares her raw and unfiltered journey, from the initial overwhelming feelings to her eventual diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Her story is not just about the struggles; it's a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help. Rachel's candid discussion sheds light on the often-hidden battles new mothers face, emphasizing that the polished exterior many present can hide deep internal turmoil. Through therapy, medication, and EMDR therapy, Rachel found a path to recovery and now stands as an advocate for maternal mental health.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health issues or supporting someone who is. It's a powerful reminder that no one is alone in their struggle and that help is always within reach. Tune in to hear Rachel's inspiring story and learn how we can all contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding maternal mental health.
