Ep. 150 - Exploring Perinatal Mood Disorders and Supports for Parents

Parenting Understood - A podcast by Erin O'Connor and Michelle Tangeman

Categories:

In this episode, we are joined by my colleague, Dr. Robin Neuhaus, to discuss recent research of ours on Perinatal Mood Disorders (PMADs) and parenting supports. We highlight the stigma associated with PMADs, leading to underreporting and inadequate support. We emphasize the need for improved screening methods, increased awareness among healthcare providers, and accessible resources for parents. The conversation also touches on the impact of parental leave policies and the importance of support networks. We conclude by advocating for greater inclusivity in research and resources, recognizing the diverse experiences of caregivers.   For information on the study featured and this episode please visit Nested and @nested.institute on instagram.
