Motherhood & Mental Illness with Ariane Beeston

  • Summary

  • Cass talks with fellow psychologist, Ariane Beeston about Ariane's experience of severe postpartum depression and psychosis. They discuss the feelings of failure that can prevent new mothers from asking for help, the lack of support available for mums beyond their babys' infancy, and the added shame of being a mental health professional experiencing mental illness.

    Ariane speaks candidly about how she was able to fool people into believing she was fine even when she wasn't, what it was like being admitted to an inpatient psychiatric facility, and what ultimately helped her to heal and recover.

    *original version of this ep had overlapping audio through the last 5 minutes. This has been fixed. Apologies!

    Her book, "Because I'm Not Myself, You See" is out now in all bookstores.
