Fine (Not Fine) Postnatal Depression with Bridget Hargreave - Episode 10
Following on from last weeks episode on Birth Trauma, Jen and Amy chat with Bridget Hargreave, the author of 'Fine (Not Fine): Perspectives and Experiences of Postnatal Depression'.
Bridget discusses her experiences with health visitors and how we can help women share how they are truly feeling. We talk about what we should (and shouldn't!) say and do when someone tells us they're having a really bad time, how to use scales like the Edinburgh Scale, the PHQ-9 and the Wholly Questions, how feeding issues and reflux or colic can impact on mood and interventions such as listening visits.
We talk about our own experiences in practice, the Nice Guidance on Perinatal Mental Health and Bridget talks from her own lived experience and those of the other women shared in her book.
As ever, give us a shout if you have any thoughts or comments to iamahealthvisitor@gmail.com on Twitter @IamaHV or on FaceBook at I am a Health Visitor.
