   Postpartum depression (PPD) is a condition many women experience, yet the stigma surrounding maternal mental health often causes women to suffer in isolation. In this episode, Whitney Bassett courageously and candidly shares her experience with PPD following the birth of her second child. Whitney’s journey took her through a deep depression that required hospitalization and intensive medical intervention.
