Postpartum Depression & Postpartum Anxiety: IT’S OK TO NOT BE OK With Amanda Deeds, RN

Ashley Srokosz

This podcast is the amazing and brave journey of how Amanda Deeds dealt with her intense and overwhelming postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety just hours after the birth of her baby girl. Amanda is a seasoned and brilliant Labor & Delivery Nurse who herself journeyed through the dark gates of depression and anxiety in the midst of what should have been the most joyous and celebratory time of her life.

She openly shares how she became quickly became paralyzed with the overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression and came out on the other side to now become an advocate for all mothers dealing with PPD and PPA.

Her message is a beautiful reminder to us all that IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK and how we can conquer these dark times by being open, vulnerable and asking for what we need in the midst of the moment.

Join Amanda and me in this honest conversation that we hope will help normalize conversations around postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety to encourage other mothers to speak up, feel more comfortable in asking for the help they need and supporting them in their times of need.

According to the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, one in five women will experience maternal mental health (MMH) conditions during pregnancy or the first year postpartum, and seventy-five percent of those women will go untreated.
