Being a Mother While Fighting Depression: 'I Never Let My Son See It'

#LanaRhoades #CuriousMike motherhood postpartum mental-health single-parenting therapy

A mother says her pregnancy caused health problems that also damaged her mental health, leaving her in the worst state she had ever been in for about two years. Having grown up with a severely mentally ill sister in a toxic home, she was determined never to let her son see her depression, relying on a nanny to keep his life full. After starting medication and therapy, she now describes motherhood as joyful and says she doesn't even want to send him to school.
