It is concerning and it's definitely, you know, a need for sure. I had the honor of meeting you at a psi conference in California, yes, and you know, and that's a great resource which we can also talk about at the end of the call, but that's helpful for women who are looking for a therapist or a psychiatrist or support group.
Becoming a parent is often painted as a joyous journey, but what happens when it’s overshadowed by mental health challenges? In this episode of 'The Savvy Shrink', Andrea Schneider, MSW, LCSW, sits down with Dr. Shari-ann H. James, a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience in reproductive and perinatal mental health. Dr. James is the driving force behind the Central Florida Postpartum Alliance, an organization dedicated to supporting those affected by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Dr.
James shares her expertise on the emotional hurdles many women face during and after pregnancy, including perinatal mood disorders, infertility struggles, and the heartbreak of perinatal loss. The conversation also tackles the stigma that often surrounds motherhood and postpartum depression, clarifying the differences between postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. Listeners will find valuable insights on how to foster healthy marital and partner relationships, as well as nurturing parent-baby attachments. Dr.
James also highlights the importance of community support and offers practical resources for those seeking help. Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or supporting someone through their journey, this episode is packed with compassionate advice and actionable steps to navigate these challenges. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of maternal mental health and discover the support systems available to make the transition to parenthood a positive experience.
