In this special bonus episode, Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney are joined by psychiatrist Dr. Stacy Cohen to break down the critical differences between postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis: a rare but life-threatening psychiatric emergency. Together, they explain the warning signs every parent, partner, and loved one should know, discuss how these conditions are diagnosed and treated, and share why early intervention can save lives.
