Lindsay Clancy Case: The Warning Signs of Postpartum Psychosis | Dr. Blair Steele & Dr. Kenneth Spielvogel

Description

A mistrial. A national conversation. And two doctors ready to explain what postpartum psychosis actually is.This week, host Richard Taite sits down with two experts from Carrara Treatment Wellness & Spa: psychologist Dr. Blair Steele and Dr. Kenneth Spielvogel, who spent nearly 30 years as an OB-GYN, before moving into addiction medicine, about what postpartum psychosis really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression, and the warning signs families and providers need to know before a crisis hits.They cover the "perfect storm" of hormones, sleep deprivation, and underlying conditions; what command hallucinations and sundowning actually are; why home visits for new mothers nearly disappeared from the healthcare system; and what it would take to catch this earlier.A clinical, honest conversation about a gap in maternal mental health care.Before the conversation, Richard shares an update on his partnership with the CDC Foundation's COPE campaign, matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000.New episodes of We're Out of Time every Tuesday.
