What it felt like to live through Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: Kristyn's Story

Welcome back to parenting unpacked where you're guaranteed to find evidence, empathy and common sense. This week's episode is heavy on the empathy side but also comes with a trigger warning. Kristyn goes in depth into her experience with perinatal anxiety and depression, both during pregnancy and in the first year after birth. This episode has a lot of hard moments, but also a shining light at the end of the tunnel, which is the promise and proof of not only surviving perinatal anxiety and depression, but thriving in the year following a serious nervous breakdown.  If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the symptoms discussed in this episode, please visit the following resources for support and further information:  PANDA: https://www.panda.org.au COPE: https://www.cope.org.au GIDGET: https://www.gidgetfoundation.org.au
