'You are not alone' is the message Amanda shares about her postpartum mental health journey after having her daughter in 2014. She experienced postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis. As a result, she is passionate about getting women who are experiencing perinatal mood disorders the resources and help they need to get better.
