A Mom Like That is a memoir of a woman’s journey into perinatal and postpartum mood disorders. She shares her honest and harrowing experiences with a healthcare system that does not yet take these issues seriously. A must listen to all.

What We Talked About:
  • What are perinatal mood disorders

  • Aaisha's personal experience with Postpartum Psychosis

  • What is the biological basis of Postpartum Psychosis

  • What urged Aaisha to write the book 'A Mom Like That'

  • The lack of awareness among healthcare providers regarding postpartum psychosis

Things to Remember

“Parenting with a mindset that always tries to bring out the best our children will have to offer the world.”

“Postpartum psychosis is one of the most severe psychiatric illnesses a woman can ever experience in her lifetime.”

“When it comes to postpartum psychosis, nobody knows why it occurs.”

“When you have a miscarriage, you don't have a baby to take care of, but you still have biological elements that trigger postpartum.”

“When you lose touch with reality, there is a risk to yourself and your child.”

“Nobody needs to suffer due to shame or stigma.”
