Welcome back, fellow nurses! As we continue our discussion on mental health, this August, we are delving deeper into the critical topics of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among nurses exacerbated by post-partum depression. My goal this month is to discuss how these conditions affect us and to explore ways we can support one another.
Join me, Maggie Ortiz, as we explore the unique mental health struggles nurses encounter, the connection between postpartum depression and our profession, and the critical role of self-care. We’ll discuss real-life case examples, share strategies for building resilience, and provide resources to help you manage stress and maintain your well-being.
Whether you’re dealing with these issues personally or supporting a colleague who is, this episode is filled with insights and practical advice to help you navigate the challenges of nursing. Tune in and take a step towards prioritizing your mental health—you’re not alone, and together, we can create a supportive and resilient nursing community.
