On this episode of What’s Health Got To Do With It, we discuss the often-overlooked realm of maternal mental health — a crucial aspect of the motherhood journey. In the United States, 1 in 5 women grapples with mental health or substance use disorders during the perinatal period, spanning pregnancy and the year after birth. Perinatal mental health conditions stand as the leading cause of maternal mortality.
Guest:
- Jill Garrett, psychologist and program director of The Motherhood Space at Baptist Health and founder of Motherhood Feels.
