Perinatal Mental Health with Conal Harpur

In this episode I chat all things perinatal mental health with Conal Harpur – or @cognitiveconal on insta!

In This Episode

• Perinatal mental health explained – what does this term actually mean?
• Different forms of mental health issues that can arise during the perinatal period.
• The importance of self care.
• My own postnatal mental health experience.
• Services in Ireland which support mental health care for women during and after pregnancy.
• Anxiety and its role and effects.

Conal is a complete wealth of knowledge.  You can find him in the insta link above or through his private clinic cbtsolutions.ie

It is so so important that we continue to speak about mental health issues and support women where possible in their time of need.  This sometimes is easier said than done but Conal gives great tips and advice on identifying mental health issues in yourself or a loved one.

Remember – while the postnatal period can feel lonely – you are never alone – reach out and seek the support you need and deserve.

I answer all of the questions that came through my question box over on my Instagram account @WonderCare_Irl
