ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Postpartum Depression, Anxiety & Psychosis Explained: What Every Woman Should Know

Mental health during infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum is often misunderstood, and knowing what's normal, what's not, and when to seek help can make all the difference. In this educational episode, Dr. Sasha sits down with Dr. Kristin Lassiter, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in reproductive psychiatry, to break down the mental health conditions women may experience throughout their reproductive years. Together, they explain the differences between anxiety, depression, OCD, postpartum baby blues, and postpartum psychosis, while addressing common misconceptions about intrusive thoughts and psychiatric medications during pregnancy. From understanding the safety of antidepressants and ADHD medications to recognizing warning signs and knowing where to turn for help, this conversation is designed to give women and their families the knowledge to make informed decisions and advocate for appropriate care.
