Pregnancy Won’t Protect You: The Maternal Mental Health Crisis

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Pregnancy Won’t Protect You: The Maternal Mental Health Crisis
Published: December 21, 2025 by RHJ Producer

A mental health researcher reveals the secret battle she hid for years – one that nearly took her life during pregnancy. Her story exposes how common and overlooked perinatal depression truly is, and why stigma keeps so many women from getting help. In this powerful memoir-turned-case-study, she hopes to show struggling mothers that they’re not alone.
