Hierdie episode is die gevolg van talle boodskappe versoeke van luisteraars van 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon. Nageboorte depressie. Post-partum depressie. Méér as net "baby blues" - en meer algemeen as wat ons almal besef. En ten spyte daarvan dat dit so baie van ons raak, steeds nie iets waaroor ons graag praat nie. Maar in dié episode praat Daniëlla en kliniese sielkundige Gerda Kriel wél sonder skroom. Gerda deel haar eie storie oor nageboorte depressie, iets wat sy ook as kind beleef het toe haar ma daaraan gely het. Sy verduidelik waarom dit gebeur, wat jy kan doen (vooraf, tydens en na die tyd) en waarom dit nooit te laat is om in te gryp nie. Ons praat ook oor hoe PPD ook mans en pa's raak; en hoe jy jou man, vriendinne of kollegas kan bystaan wanneer jy die tekens raaksien. This episode is the result of many messages and requests from listeners of 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon. Postpartum depression... It's more than just the "baby blues" – and more common than we all realize. Despite affecting so many of us, it’s still something we are often reluctant to talk about. But in this episode, Daniëlla and clinical psychologist Gerda Kriel talk openly and without hesitation. Gerda shares her own story of postpartum depression, something she also experienced as a child when her mother suffered from it. She explains why it happens, what you can do (before, during, and after), and why it’s never too late to intervene. We also discuss how PPD affects men and fathers too, and how you can support your husband, friends, or colleagues when you recognize the signs. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z
