"Why Aren't I Coping?" Postpartum Depression and The Baby Blues - Uncut with Psychologist Kat Wyeth

Postpartum depression affects between 15 and 20% of Australian women during the first year after birth which translates to thousands of new mums and about 100,000 families every year that experience this often invisible condition.

For anyone who has experienced it, you’ll likely know that it is more than a short wave of sadness. It can have lasting effects on mums, on their relationships with their babies, on their friendships and their relationships. So we wanted to create this episode not just for the mums who have experienced PPD, but for their friends and partners so that we can all better understand the condition and be able to support someone we love who is experiencing it.

Joining the podcast today is Kat Wyeth. Kat is a registered and practicing psychologist, the Senior Psychologist of the Psych Collaborative and host of the Psychology Sisters podcast. Kat also experienced postpartum depression.

We chat:

‘Baby blues’ v postpartum depression
Signs and symptoms
Who is likely to develop PPD?
The unspoken guilt of struggling because it implies you aren’t grateful for your baby
Being ‘on the other side of it’
How it can impact your relationship with your partner
Postpartum resentment and rage
The perfect mother myth
Intrusive thoughts and new ‘emotions’ when you enter motherhood
‘Regret’ is often yearning for your old life or identity

Kat mentioned two services that offer free counselling The Gidget Foundation
And Panda Organisation
