I was sectioned for a month after giving birth

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains explicit discussion surrounding issues including depression, postpartum psychosis and self-harm. This may prove a difficult listen for some and if you feel that listening may affect you negatively, then please choose another episode. This week Giovanna sits down with Jade Lloyd for a powerful and deeply personal interview about her experience with postpartum psychosis. Jade tells Gi about her traumatic birth during COVID-19, followed by a descent into severe postpartum psychosis that required her being admitted to a mother and baby unit and sectioned. Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency that requires immediate intervention. If you are worried about yourself or a loved one, it’s important to speak to a health professional such as a GP, midwife or health visitor. If it's an emergency and you don’t feel safe, call 999 or go straight to A&E. If Jade’s story has resonated with you and you need help or support, please don’t hesitate to use the resources below: Action on Postpartum Psychosis https://www.app-network.org/ Pandas https://pandasfoundation.org.uk/ Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org Mind UK https://www.mind.org.uk/ Listen to the podcast here: https://podfollow.com/happymumhappybaby JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: Instagram:   / happymumhappybaby   Facebook:  / happymumhappybaby   TikTok:   / happymumhappybaby   Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ZTyXhD #podcast #postpartum #newmum
