Summary
8 years ago, when Laura Guckian should have been experiencing the happiest time of her life, she instead found herself in a psychiatric hospital away from her 10-month-old baby. In this powerful episode, she joins Dr Alex George to share what it was like spending 2 months in hospital, the shocking reason behind many suicidal thoughts amongst new mums and why the idea of a ‘good mum’ can be an unachievable ideal.
