Maternal Mental Health

6m · Laser Learning · 12 May 16:00

1 in 5 new mothers experience some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. These illnesses frequently go unnoticed and untreated, at times with tragic and long-term consequences to mothers, children, and fathers alike.

May is Maternal Mental Health Month. In recent years, as a society, we've done a great job in bettering our understanding of mental health, in terms of having empathy, recognising some of the challenges, dangers and also solutions in terms of offering support, having tolerance towards those who are suffering, on any scale, and so on.

We hope this episode has been helpful and reassuring, and please do share it as it could make a world of difference to someone struggling with maternal mental health issues.

The episode Maternal Mental Health from the podcast Laser Learning has a duration of 6:59. It was first published 12 May 16:00. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.
