I AM ONE Podcast by Postpartum Support International
Connect with PSI through the power of storytelling!
Perinatal mental health advocates share their personal journeys through pregnancy and postpartum, detailing how they found support, discovered PSI, and now help others.
Through storytelling, we bring PSI’s message to life: You are not alone. You are not to blame. With help, you will be well. Each episode affirms that Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHD) affect many—and each of us can say, “I AM ONE.”
Whether you're seeking connection or a way to advocate, we offer space for both the serious and the lighthearted. There is strength in healing and power in sharing— so that's what we’re here for!
I AM ONE Podcast by Postpartum Support International
AAISHA ALVI - I AM ONE of Many Who Had Trouble Getting Help for Postpartum Psychosis
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Aaisha Alvi, Postpartum Psychosis advocate, writer, and she also has a brand new title – a published author! We’ll hear all about her lived experience with Postpartum Psychosis on two separate occasions; we’ll chat about the importance of education and awareness - because Aaisha wasn’t diagnosed until seeing a 6th doctor; and finally, we’ll discuss how Postpartum Psychosis IS treatable and does not have to end in tragedy. If you’re interested in learning more about PPP, be sure to check out the show notes for links to a plethora of resources, and do check out Aaisha’s book, “A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis.” available online, in audio format, and in a bookstore near you. So, without any further ado, please sit back, relax and enjoy this episode with our friend, Aaisha.
