About this listen

Women In Government Podcast Motherhood in Mind: Navigating Mental Health and Public Policy Postpartum depression or PPD is a common condition that many mothers face. It’s more intense than the ‘baby blues’ and often lasts longer, usually three to six months. One in seven women develops PPD after giving birth. That is why it is so important to talk openly about its symptoms, like depression, fatigue, feelings of guilt, anxiety, and difficulty bonding with the baby… just to name a few. This episode is a safe space. The panel discusses a variety of topics, including screening, medication, and barriers to treatment, all while doing their best to help stop the stigma and empower each other to create change in our local communities. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Texas Representative Toni Rose GUEST #1: Jessie Colbert, executive director of the Mass. PPD Fund GUEST #2: Kentucky Representative Kimberly Moser GUEST #3: Aurielle Wilderman, president and director of The Wilderman Fund SOUNDBITE: Colorado Senator and Second Vice Chair, Women In Government, Dafna Michaelson Jenet ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com
