My guest this week is LCSW Alison Sullivan from Alison Sullivan and Associates. We talk about the difference between Postpartum Depression and the "Baby Blues". We also talk about some risk factors and common symptoms to be on the look out for. We talked about the stigma behind postpartum and the misconception that if you have postpartum depression it some how makes you a bad mom. The main thing we wanted to get across in this episode, is that if you feel like you may be experiencing symptoms of depression please talk to your doctor or therapist. Depression is treatable and doesn't make you a bad or unworthy parent. Also, if you want to check out Alison's Podcast Click Here!
