The Beat podcast is designed for healthcare professionals and is brought to you by Nutricia. Amidst all of the joy that comes with a new baby, it's perfectly normal for women to experience some worry and stress. But what happens when those difficult feelings become overwhelming, when women start to experience perinatal mental health problems? 

In this episode of The Beat podcast, Gill, an NHS midwife, interviews Sally Wilson, National Training Coordinator at Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP). Since developing postpartum psychosis in 2015, Sally has channelled her experiences into supporting others. During this 20 minute episode, listen to Sally’s story and find out how healthcare professionals can best support women's mental health during the pregnancy and postnatal period.
