In this episode, Carrie sits down with Kathy Young as she shares her journey through postpartum OCD, multiple inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, a misdiagnosis of postpartum psychosis, and the lessons she learned on the road to recovery.
Episode Highlights:
-How to recognize when postpartum OCD symptoms may be mistaken for postpartum psychosis or other mental health conditions.
-Why sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, and anxiety can intensify OCD symptoms after childbirth.
-How perfectionism and the need for control can quietly fuel obsessive thinking during motherhood.
-Practical ways to communicate your needs and build a stronger support system during difficult seasons.
