Episode notes
What does it mean to holistically care for mothers and babies during the perinatal period? Join The Round Up host, A/Prof Elissa Hatherly, as she catches up with local perinatal psychiatrist Dr Angela Anson to explore the intricate and often overlooked world of perinatal mental health. Because, as Dr Anson reminds us, “There is no such thing as a baby — only a baby and their caregiver.”
From understanding the challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood to addressing the ripple effects of untreated mental health issues, this conversation unpacks the complexities of perinatal mental health. Dr Anson sheds light on common concerns like anxiety, depression, and perinatal psychosis, offering practical advice on recognising the signs, providing support, and fostering a strong maternal-infant bond.
