”Postpartum Depression” with Dr Eynav Accortt - Director of the Reproductive Psychology Program/Clinical Psychologist at Cedars- Sinai in Los Angeles

EmotionAL Support with Alessandra Torresani

Eynav Accortt, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology and clinical psychologist at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, joins me to talk about my fear of Postpartum Depression and Perineal Mood and Anxiety Disorder. As the director of the Reproductive Psychology Program, her research focuses on mood and anxiety disorders during the female reproductive life course. She shares all the facts about PPD and makes sure I'm put at ease during my pregnancy, not letting FEAR of the unknown take over. Bipolar Psychosis is a very real diagnosis I've read so much about and I have the opportunity to break it all down with her. Below are some resources I would love to share with you and for you to share with your friends, family or even a stranger would may need support!
