You Don't Need A Diagnosis To Need Help: PPD & PPA Explained with Jessica Schachter, PsyD, PMH-C
Description
The postpartum struggle can be real, and Jessica Schacher knows it. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with the licensed clinical psychologist, who specializes in perinatal mental health, and is a Mom herself.
Jessica opens up about what drove her into this line of work, what new Moms should look for when selecting a therapist to work with, and what qualifies as "needing" help - spoiler - you need it if you want it, regardless of what your symptoms say. Jessica also takes your questions about postpartum mental health!
If you listen to this episode and are worried you may be struggling with PPD/PPA/PPP, PLEASE talk to your doctor (any doctor - your OB, Pediatrician or a Licensed Therapist, immediately). A few additional national resources are listed below:
