Thank you Pamela Brown for sharing your story and helping mothers know they are not alone.

When we were creating “Body Language,” one of the first things I knew for certain was that I wanted my own experiences to inform the way we approached this series and help other women feel more comfortable sharing their stories for it. So while it felt very vulnerable to sit in front of a camera and talk about one of the most challenging periods of my life, I hope it will help others. We’re in it together one way or another! 🧠🚺🩷

And a reminder that the first four episodes of “Body Language” drop on CNN All Access for free next Thursday, 10/8.

Getting the right maternal mental health care should never come down to luck.

In this CNN report, Catherine Birndorf, MD and Esty Rollhaus, a graduate of The Motherhood Center’s Day Program, speak to the gaps that leave too many mothers struggling to find appropriate treatment.

Esty shares her experience of postpartum psychosis, the barriers she faced while seeking help, and how she eventually connected with specialized care at The Motherhood Center. Today, she is a reproductive psychiatrist herself, helping others access the understanding and treatment she once needed.

Her story carries both an urgent call for change and a powerful message of hope. Mothers need providers who recognize what they’re experiencing, treatment they can access, and a system that follows through when they ask for help.

As Esty reminds us: “They’re not alone … and you can get better.”

Thank you to Esty for sharing her story and to CNN and Meena Hart Duerson for bringing attention to the need for specialized maternal mental health care. Every mother deserves a path to support.

For support during pregnancy or postpartum, call The Motherhood Center at 212-335-0034. For 24/7 support, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262. If someone may be experiencing psychosis or is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
