412 Postpartum | Kate + Dylan discuss their journey into parenthood and Dylan's escalating mental health concerns that resulted in his admission to a mother and baby psychiatric unit (now called a parent + baby unit)

Update: 2023-08-16

Description

Today Kate and Dylan are incredibly generous with sharing the birth of their first child and the significant challenges of postpartum. Dylan has lived with anxiety his whole life but in the first few months of parenthood his anxiety was debilitating and was only amplified by his baby's cries. He was eventually admitted to the mother and baby psychiatric unit; a supportive space where he could receive psychiatric treatment and support while learning to bond with his baby.
