The PANDAS Foundation Podcast

The PANDAS Foundation podcast brings you deep insight and advice into the diverse and raw experiences of perinatal mental health and shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel. PANDAS Foundation - Pre and Postnatal Depression Advice and Support - helps people with their mental health at an early intervention stage - that's any time from conception through to birth and beyond. In this podcast, Sally Bunkham and Annie Belasco offer hope for parents struggling with mental health. Like many of the staff and volunteers at the charity they've experienced - and overcome - perinatal health struggles and want to support others through theirs. Parenthood can be great. It can also be a lonely time with many challenges and changes. That's why we're making this podcast - so that wherever you are and whatever has brought you here, you know that you're not alone. If you're experiencing some frightening thoughts and feelings, or someone you love is suffering. We're here to reassure you that help and recovery is possible and we will have many examples of this that we hope will inspire you. Some of the topics we'll talk about in this series might be familiar to you. But others could be new. Perinatal mental health is diverse and includes conditions like low mood, anxiety, pre and post natal depression, maternal OCD, intrusive thoughts and so on. However alone you might feel now, we want you to know that we are there to support you. We hope that this podcast and our charity as a whole will help you find the information and support to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel for you and your family. When PANDAS as a charity talks about perinatal mental health, we have no cut off points or rules about when you can or can't reach out for support with us as a parent or a carer. We provide free support every day via our helpline, whatsapp and email services and our online and offline peer to peer support groups.  https://pandasfoundation.org.uk This podcast may and will include from time-to-time themes of the entire spectrum of mental illness, themes may include, suicide, baby loss, self-harm, domestic violence and upsetting topics.
