This week Candice shares her hospital admission experience. She discusses her perspective as a nurse being a patient in the hospital she used to work at. Candice continues to share her journey with postpartum mania/psychosis, comparing it to being the main character in a horror movie.
In this episode, we also discuss ongoing stigma against mental health, as well as patient advocacy in a flawed medical system. We end the episode emphasizing the importance of sleep, hydration and nutrition in the postpartum period.
We can’t thank Candice enough for her vulnerability to share her story with us and help shed light on maternal mental health.
