In this very open and vulnerable interview, Sam bravely and openly shares her story and experience of post natal depression. Many women suffer with the condition and so often suffer in silence for fear of judgement. Our hope from this interview is that it helps at least one woman seek support and know that they are not alone. This interview is not a therapy session, just a discussion between two women raising awareness of this important condition. TRIGGER WARNING: The interview has references to suicidal thoughts.
