MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH

In this episode of The Shift with Sonia Azad, we start a conversation about Maternal Mental Health.
According to the CDC, 1 in 8 women experiences postpartum depression; 50% of them are untreated.
Maternal mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorder affect 1 in 5 women, and are referred to by the American Hospital Association as the most prominent complications of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
Sonia sits down with Megan Graves, LCSW-S, from Texas Health Behavioral Health to discuss the reality of this major life shift into motherhood, and how we can better support our friends as they navigate their new roles as mom.
