This week, I'm chatting it up with Dr. Jenny Yip. Together we delve into the often-overlooked topic of postpartum mental health, particularly focusing on postpartum anxiety and OCD. Because let's keep it real being a mama—a good one—ain't for the weak of heart. This is why we discuss the stigma surrounding maternal mental health, the societal pressures on mothers, and the importance of support systems. It truly takes a village to raise these babies.
