On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Aaisha Alvi, Postpartum Psychosis advocate, writer, and she also has a brand new title – a published author! We’ll hear all about her lived experience with Postpartum Psychosis on two separate occasions; we’ll chat about the importance of education and awareness - because Aaisha wasn’t diagnosed until seeing a 6th doctor; and finally, we’ll discuss how Postpartum Psychosis IS treatable and does not have to end in tragedy. If you’re interested in learning more about PPP, be sure to check out the show notes for links to a plethora of resources, and do check out Aaisha’s book, “A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis.” available online, in audio format, and in a bookstore near you. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax and enjoy this episode with our friend, Aaisha.

He’s a Perinatal Anxiety & OCD survivor who volunteers his time at PSI in two capacities: facilitating the Dads Support group once a month and providing support to dads in the Peer Mentor Program. Before becoming a volunteer with PSI, Christopher was a new father struggling to support both his wife's mental health, and his own. Luckily, his wife found PSI and the help that they both needed. We’re absolutely thrilled to bring you this fresh perspective on what it feels like to become a father and why talking about feelings is where it’s at!

On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with the fabulous Eszter Kalman, a Licensed Perinatal Psychotherapist, a longtime PSI volunteer on the Helpline, and now she’s lending her volunteer skills to content creation with the social media team. We’ll hear all about how incredibly lonely motherhood felt after moving from Hungary to the United States. We’ll also hear about Eszter’s experience with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and how the shame and guilt of experiencing intrusive thoughts held her back from seeking help as soon as she needed it. We loved every second of this conversation. So, without any further ado, sit back and enjoy this episode with our friend, Eszter!
