32. Defining and Combating Depression, Anxiety, and Postpartum Depression ft. Lee and Liana Kinikini

(PART 1) In this episode Lee, a Family Therapist, and his wife Liana, a Nurse Practitioner, hashed out what exactly anxiety and depression are. What is the difference between having a hard time and having anxiety or depression? What can medication do? What can therapy do? What can they NOT do? How can we know when we need to reach out for help? We also touched on Postpartum Depression--because that is so different and unique, it just had to be brought up on its own.

Stick around next week for part 2 to get their advice on how to help your loved ones who are dealing with these issues, and how taking care of your mental health is part of God’s plan.
