In episode 9 of the podcast Emma speaks with Viv Kissane. Viv is the founder and CEO of Peach Tree which is a Brisbane based organisation for perinatal wellness. Viv shares her personal experience of perinatal mental illness and how her lived experience became what is now a 100% peer-lead organisation with lived experiences of perinatal mental illness.
The statistics for perinatal mental health cannot be ignored and are quite probably underestimating the number of women and men suffering from perinatal mental health disorders.
“It doesn’t matter if you have a huge support network, if you have the dream unicorn baby that sleeps through the night or what your financial situation is mental illness can impact anyone”.
We discuss:
- Differentiating normal parental concerns, anxieties vs postnatal depression and anxiety disorders
- The common signs and symptoms of postnatal depression and anxiety
- Baby blues
- Other mental health disorders in the perinatal period
- Male perinatal mental health
