 We are hearing Alyssa’s story in today’s episode. She shares her experience with postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD, as well as her lifelong battle for mental health. We’ve discussed many times on the podcast that a history of mental health issues is a significant risk factor for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Because Alyssa did not get the help she needed when she needed it most, she has become a passionate advocate and supporter of other moms and families facing these issues. Alyssa Verge is a 31-year-old mom of a two-year-old and the stepmom of an eight-year-old. After her child was born, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety and eventually with postpartum OCD. She’s passionate about mental health and healing generational trauma. Show Highlights: The birth story of Alyssa’s son, when she felt the “baby blues” immediately after his birth Being told everything she was feeling was “normal,” even though she was sincere and open about her experience Alyssa’s husband finally found a therapist for her because he knew this couldn’t be normal. Alyssa’s relief when she found out her feelings weren’t normal, and she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety The prevalence of OCD, which wasn’t identified for several months Unnatural fears about leaving the house and getting sick OCD was manifested in her body’s refusal to take medication, even though it was what she wanted to do to get better. Therapy tools that didn’t help for Alyssa: exposure therapy, scripts, positive brain talk Feeling guilty for being a burden and not being able to get better Finding balance in looking for support, with boundaries Alyssa’s advice to others about accepting “normal,” having patience, and finding help Resources: Connect with Alyssa Verge: Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.
