In this week's chat I am joined by Clinical Psychologist, Dr Rhiarne Pronk- Scholes to discuss mental health issues in motherhood and the many ways that mothers can get the support they need when times get tough. We discuss the signs to recognise when you feel your mental health may be deteriorating, what mothers truly need to be supported and where we are lacking in mother care support. We also touch on the difference between Postnatal Depression and Postnatal Depletion.
