46. Postpartum Depression, taking time off from residency, type I diabetes, and health care education and advocacy with Dr. Padget Skogman
Description
"Because then I had to go back to residency, and I could have quit but I didn't want to. I was feeling better, but going back as a brand new first time mom - breastfeeding, not sleeping, all the things - was so much easier than going through residency with depression."
This episode is with Dr. Padget Skogman who is a board certified pediatrician.
In this episode we talk about:
- Dealing with depression in residency
- The disconnect between what her program director thought was an appropriate mental health leave (1 week) vs her psychiatrist advocating for much longer
- The difference between doing residency training depressed vs as a new mom coming back from maternity leave
- Second episode of postpartum depression, taking much longer to recover from as she only had 6 weeks of maternity leave
- Being a physician with type I diabetes
- Being the first woman physician to join a practice
- Her current passion project
- and so much more!
