EP: 25 Understanding PostPartum Depression

#postpartum #depression (also called PPD) is not your fault. It’s a #medical condition that needs treatment to get better. Many women have PPD after having a #baby. It’s the most common problem for new moms. If you think you have PPD, know this; you are not alone, you don’t hate your baby, nothing is wrong with you and you are not going mad. This is only a phase on life, one that requires guidance and expert help.
In this podcast, I spoke to Samantha Bahl, the Founder of Nirvi for Women to understand her PPD journey and how she utilised her experience to found her organisation with the aim of aiding women who undergo PPD. The best part about her initiative is that it is a community outreach set-up, one where women do not feel alone in their journey post motherhood and realise that what they are going through is not their story alone; that there are other women with similar stories to share. It makes them feel comfortable, secure and understood. Listen in as Samantha throws some important pointers on the types of PPD there are, how one should deal with it and most importantly, why one should seek an expert’s help.
