36) The POP-poli Explained: Psychiatric and Mental Health Support During Pregnancy with Prof. Birit Broekman from OLVG

Maternal mental health is just as critical as physical health, yet nearly 20% of women will face psychiatric challenges during or after pregnancy. In this essential episode of Dam Parenting, we are joined by Professor Birit Broekman from the POP-poli at OLVG in Amsterdam. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at the specialized care available for mothers dealing with depression, anxiety, or psychosis.

Professor Broekman explains the "POP" (Psychiatry, Obstetrics, and Pediatrics) approach—a holistic model where specialists work together to manage medication, therapy, and infant health under one roof. We discuss how to access these services in the Netherlands, the safety of medication during breastfeeding, and why seeking help is the strongest choice you can make for your family. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the transition to motherhood, tune in to learn about the multidisciplinary support system designed to catch you.
