This week on the podcast (click here to listen or click on the player above) Danielle and I are joined by special guest and Senior Faith & Family writer Kate Wicker. Our conversation accompanies Kate’s wonderful article this week on the topic of Postpartum Depression.
Kate shares her personal experience with Postpartum Depression following the birth of her third daughter. She describes her symptoms, the warning signs she felt, and the steps that lead her to open up and seek professional help. We share a bit of conversation on personal experiences we’ve had with friends and family who have suffered with PPD.
This week’s Faith & Family Feature product is Surviving Depression: A Catholic Approach by Kathryn James Hermes. Danielle and Kate both share their thoughts on this wonderful book as a support not only for those facing depression, but also for those who may have family members or friends facing mental health issues.
In our final segment, Kate describes the symptoms of Postpartum Depression and shares a “checklist” of practical solutions for women facing depression, as well as some tips each of us can follow on a daily basis to keep life in balance.
