“Parenting with a mindset that always tries to bring out the best our children will have to offer the world.”
“Postpartum psychosis is one of the most severe psychiatric illnesses a woman can ever experience in her lifetime.”
“When it comes to postpartum psychosis, nobody knows why it occurs.”
“When you have a miscarriage, you don't have a baby to take care of, but you still have biological elements that trigger postpartum.”
“When you lose touch with reality, there is a risk to yourself and your child.”
“Nobody needs to suffer due to shame or stigma.”
