The arrival of a new baby is a joyous occasion, but it can also be a time of emotional upheaval. So, this week on Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcast, host Dina Sargeant is joined by psychologist Deborah Serani, Psy.D. to explore the intricacies of postpartum depression.
As a young girl, Deborah Serani, Psy.D. descended into a debilitating depression - and at age 19, became suicidal. The fallout from this major depressive episode required her to take a medical leave from college in order to recover. Crediting psychotherapy as life-saving, she directed her focus to the field of psychology - wanting to help others who struggle with challenging issues. Now in practice for over 30 years in New York, Deborah Serani, Psy.D. uses her personal experiences with depression to inform her professional work as clinician, author and professor.
In this episode, Deborah Serani, Psy.D. addresses common misconceptions about postpartum well-being, and reveals some key indicators of a new mother struggling with the postpartum experience. Additionally, she sheds light on the key distinguishers between ‘baby blues’ and more serious postpartum mood disorders.
Together, Dina and Deborah Serani, Psy.D. canvass some useful and effective habits for managing postpartum well-being. So, tune in this week as we break the stigma surrounding postpartum mental health!
