Baby Blues... or Is It Something More?
Having a baby is an intense and exhilarating time in a woman’s life. There are so many expectations, dreams, hopes, fears, changes both logistically, physically and neurochemically. Women often find their moods after giving birth to be wildly fluctuating. One moment can be joy staring into a new little face and another moment terror at all the things to come. Sleep deprivation and shifting hormones can feel like a bit of a roller coaster. Lets talk about where post-partum blues end and post-partum depression begins.
Self-Care: Sustainable and Naturally Sourced Part 1
“Self-Care” is a new buzz word these days. As someone who takes care of other people for a living (psychiatrist) my therapist often asks me at some point in session, what are you doing to take care of yourself? It used to feel this was an enormous weight. In addition to running the household, earning a living, taking care of kids, of struggling patients, working out regularly, preparing perfectly balanced healthy meals, all in the middle of a pandemic, there was yet another responsibility on my plate. I wondered often, how exactly is this accomplished? Who are the super women who have unlimited resources to get it all done and more? Seemed like a setup for yet another area I could count on underperforming in the early stages of my self-care journey.
