The Untold Truth of Motherhood | Postpartum Depression, Emotional Exhaustion & Parenting

Motherhood is often portrayed as a journey filled with love, happiness, and sacrifice. But behind the beautiful moments, many women experience emotional exhaustion, identity shifts, loneliness, postpartum depression, and immense parenting pressure.

In this special Mother's Day episode of Value of Life with Puja Khushal, host Puja Khushal sits down with Counselor & Psychologist Drishti Kashana to discuss the emotional and psychological realities of motherhood that are rarely talked about openly.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What are Postpartum Blues, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Psychosis? • Why do many women feel emotionally isolated after childbirth? • The pressure of becoming a "Perfect Mother" • Mental health challenges faced by new mothers • Why C-Section mothers are often unfairly judged • The role of fathers in parenting and emotional caregiving • How long emotional recovery after delivery can take • Why a husband's emotional support matters during motherhood • Motherhood identity shifts and emotional wellbeing • Family support systems and maternal mental health

This conversation is valuable for mothers, fathers, parents, spouses, caregivers, mental health professionals, and anyone who wants to better understand the realities of motherhood.

Guest: Drishti Kashana (Counselor & Psychologist) Host: Puja Khushal
