Dr. Morgan here, and this episode is near and dear to my heart - as I am no stranger to the experience of postpartum depression and anxiety. I feel for myself looking back on those experiences, and have immense compassion for those going through these dark times. PPD and PPA unfortunately affect as many as 1 in 7 or 8 women, and we are here today to tease out five possible root causes so that in case these are a component in your story, you have a path to walk towards finding yourself again. Some of these are easily missed on improper lab orders, or are commonly mistaken as normal symptoms of life with a new baby - but we know there is a different way - a way where you can enjoy motherhood feeling like yourself, even through the tough times. We are here for you, and hope this episode helps.   DOCTOR'S WEBSITES  Dr. Leah’s website: www.womanhoodwellness.com  Dr. Leah's IG: https://www.instagram.com/drleahgordon/  Dr. Morgan’s website: www.milkmedicine.com Dr. Morgan's IG: https://www.instagram.com/morganmacdermott/     SHOW NOTES: Baby blues information and symptoms:  https://drsarahallen.com/baby-blues/ Postpartum depression symptoms: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9312-postpartum-depression  Postpartum depression screening questionnaire https://www.fresno.ucsf.edu/pediatrics/downloads/edinburghscale.pdf and https://www.phqscreeners.com/ and https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/postpartum-depression/  https://www.postpartumlink.com/ for motherhood focused therapy  Episode #07 for more information on postpartum healing from our perspective Episode #09 for Dr. Cerra Kelly’s episode on postpartum body image Episode #Stay Connected With Us:Healthy As A Mother: www.healthyasamother.comInstagram: @healthyasamotherpodcastDr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comInstagram: @drleahgordonDr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comInstagram: @morganmacdermott
