    Send us a text

    On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Aaisha Alvi, Postpartum Psychosis advocate, writer, and she also has a brand new title – a published author! We’ll hear all about her lived experience with Postpartum Psychosis on two separate occasions; we’ll chat about the importance of education and awareness - because Aaisha wasn’t diagnosed until seeing a 6th doctor; and finally, we’ll discuss how Postpartum Psychosis IS treatable and does not have to end in tragedy. If you’re interested in learning more about PPP, be sure to check out the show notes for links to a plethora of resources, and do check out Aaisha’s book, “A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis.” available online, in audio format, and in a bookstore near you. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax and enjoy this episode with our friend, Aaisha.
