The Care Gap: Postpartum Depression, Psychosis, and What Mothers Still Aren't Getting
Podcast: The Nearly Normal PodcastPublished On: Tue Sep 01 2026
Description: Part 2 of our postpartum series picks up where Part 1 left off. We go deeper on what postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are, how psychosis specifically presents, and why it's so often missed by the people closest to a new mother. Then we talk about the harder part: what real treatment and support look like, and what's still missing from the way this country cares for mothers after birth. We're approaching this with the respect it deserves, because behind every headline is a family.
