Surviving PND w/ Lauren Shapiro

This week I’m talking to South African journalist and writer Lauren Shapiro… Lauren and I talk about one thing in particular in this conversation… PND… Now to most people that means Post Natal Depression. In some parts of the world it’s now being called Perinatal Distress. The reason being is that some women, like Lauren, suffer from PND not just after they’ve given birth, but during the pregnancy as well. Lauren talks me through what it was like for her to go through, feeling like she was losing her mind, having suicidal ideations, being put through various medical treatments... and somehow coming out the other side. Lauren’s also written a book, called Through the Window: How I Beat PND which is available as an e-book on Amazon, and all the online e-book places. facebook.com/LaurenShapiroAuthor/ laurenshapiro.co.za -- This episode is sponsored by MANSCAPED and Northern Powerhouse Media.
