Episode Details

Collette McEntees journey with postnatal depression, a common yet often overlooked condition affecting one in five women, is a testament to the power of community and therapy. After her daughters birth, Collette struggled with anxiety and overwhelm, eventually diagnosed with postnatal depression. Her path to recovery involved medication, therapy, and the Mothers in Harmony Choir at Coombe Hospital, led by senior occupational therapist Geraldine McHugh. This choir, backed by research, uses singing to build community, empowerment, and stress relief, strengthening mom-baby bonds. Collettes experience highlights the importance of awareness and support for new mothers dealing with perinatal mental health issues.
