While being pregnant or having a baby is a happy occasion, it can also be a time of overwhelming stress for many women. Joining me for straight talk on postpartum wellness and mental health is holistic psychiatrist and neurologist Dr. Aparna Iyer.

Dr. Iyer completed her residency training in psychiatry at Albany Medical Center in New York, where she was selected as a chief resident and continued on to work as an Assistant Professor and faculty member. Dr. Iyer also served as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She has been recognized as one of D Magazine's Best Doctors in Dallas and Best Doctors in Collin County. Dr. Iyer has a private practice in Frisco, Texas where she sees outpatients and has a special interest in working with women who are pregnant and postpartum.
