Summary
In this episode, Kendall Lasha discusses the impact of motherhood on mental health and wellbeing with licensed clinical social worker Anitra Walker. They explore topics such as postpartum depression, signs of struggling mental wellbeing, PTSD, personal experiences, the myth of joy in motherhood, the effects of stress, the impact of structural racism, isolation and distress, self-care strategies, and advice for struggling moms.
Takeaways
Postpartum depression is a common mental health issue that affects many new mothers, and it is important to seek help and support. Signs of struggling mental wellbeing include somatic complaints, such as headaches and stomachaches, as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety. PTSD can be a symptom of traumatic events experienced during motherhood, and it is important to address and seek help for these symptoms. Motherhood is not always a joyous experience, and it is important for moms to prioritize their mental health and practice self-care. Creating a social network of supportive friends and family, setting boundaries, and seeking professional help are important strategies for moms struggling with their mental health.
