There are many misunderstandings about postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. Host Lindsay Aerts experienced postpartum anxiety and OCD and recalls the common, yet often misunderstood, symptom of scary or intrusive thoughts. She talks about a conversation she had with an elderly man who clearly just didn't understand that the thoughts were a symptom of an illness, not necessarily how she felt about her child.
