In this episode, host Madeleine Taylor speaks with Amy Castle, a mother, experienced parent, and dedicated advocate for perinatal mental health. As a team member at PADA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Aotearoa), Amy sheds light on the challenges many parents face during and after pregnancy, including perinatal anxiety and depression. She discusses the lack of awareness and support available and shares valuable insights on recognizing the signs, accessing help, and the importance of open conversations around maternal mental health.
Amy also provides practical advice on managing perinatal mental health and highlights key resources from PADA, including screening tools and national helplines. Whether you're a new parent, a support person, or simply want to learn more, this episode offers essential guidance on navigating perinatal mental health challenges and finding the right support.
