Breaking the Silence: Patricia's Battle with Postpartum Psychosis (Part 2)

Send us a text

When the joy of welcoming a new life is overshadowed by the silent battles of postpartum depression, the stories that emerge can be as heart-wrenching as they are crucial to share. 

We previously left you on a cliffhanger. Now, here is part two of Patricia Tomasi's story. She shared her harrowing experience with postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the chilling touch of psychosis, shedding light on the struggles that many new mothers face in silence.

Her candid recount speaks to the soul:

• Highlighting the often dismissive responses from healthcare professionals
• The arduous journey towards finding the right treatment
• It emphasizes why immediate and accurate care is not just necessary but life-saving.

We honour initiatives like Flora's Walk, which celebrates these stories while raising funds to enhance perinatal mental health programs and services. 

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that is both a call to action and a profound reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and shared perinatal experiences.
