Prenatal and Postnatal Mental Health, Postpartum Anxiety and Depression, Sleep Deprivation Consequences, and More with Dr. Nicole Kumi, PhD, PMH-C Ep. 36
We are back after a brief hiatus on the show (something had to give) but we are back and I couldn't think of a better topic to come back with that this one! Pre and postnatal mental health services are one of the most overlooked and underutilized form of care for women and it is time that starts to change. I have with me Dr. Nicole Kumi as we dive into a conversational episode around postpartum depression, sleep deprivation issues, daycare drop-off tips, and so much more!
