Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Sarah Oreck

Dr. Sarah Oreck joins us today to dive into postpartum mental health, and how our hormones can play a role in managing our mental wellbeing after giving birth. Dr. Oreck is a specialist in reproductive psychiatry, and today she shares insights into managing metal health in the pre and postpartum period. One of the biggest changes moms will experience after giving birth is the hormone drop, and Dr. Oreck shares how that impacts a mother’s mental health. Dr. Oreck also gives some great tools for moms to monitor and manage their mental health as well as how to know the difference between baby blues and something more severe like postpartum anxiety or depression. We also touch on how to manage mental health when dealing with infertility, and how to support the people in our lives who might be struggling with these issues. Whether postpartum or trying to conceive, having support and taking care of our mental health is so important!  Visit the links below to learn more and get support: https://www.postpartum.net/  https://womensmentalhealth.org/  Please join us on YouTube for our full conversation and many more on video!
