Maternal Mental Health - Dr. Tyler Van Milligen

On the heels of Mother's Day, we're going to focus on Maternal Mental Health. What are the differences between the "baby blues" and postpartum depression and perinatal anxiety? How can you spot the signs if something serious is happening to you or your loved ones?

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Tyler Van Milligen, who cares for patients in the MercyOne Psychiatric Residency Program in Des Moines, Iowa.

We're happy to partner with Iowa's Healthiest State Initiative and the Make It OK campaign to bring you this content! It's OK to have a mental illness - many people do. It's OK to talk about mental illness - talking makes people feel less alone. It's OK to seek help with mental illness - life can get better. Dr. Tyler also was featured on the Make It OK podcast to speak about postpartum depression.
