FreeReadings and education on postpartum psychosis
Postpartum Psychosis is a widely misunderstood and serious condition. The cultural representation of it is largely based on the most extreme and tragic cases. Join us as two brave survivors read excerpts from their memoirs and a local expect provides education on the condition. Covered: how Postpartum Psychosis is different than Postpartum Depression and other Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Symptoms, prevention, treatment, and a call for action.
