Southern Remedy

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyGuest(s): Dr. Courtney Walker, Dr. Theo Browne, and Adri McHannTopic: May is Mental Health Awareness Month and today we’re opening the door to a conversation that is too often kept behind closed ones: maternal mental health. Becoming a parent is often described as the happiest time in a person’s life. But for many, it’s also one of the most vulnerable. Behind the baby showers and birth announcements, there can be deep waves of anxiety, depression, isolation, and fear—feelings that deserve attention, compassion, and care. On today’s show, we’re shining a light on the mental and emotional well-being of mothers—before, during, and after pregnancyYou can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.
