"Despite popular belief parents are their own people before they take on the responsibility for a child, which is why their mental health plays a role in how they take care of their children."
"Studies show that children were three times more at risk for mental health disorders and substance abuse than children whose parents weren't depressed; this highlights the importance to take care of your own needs as a parent to give your child a positive environment to grow in."
"To ensure better management of parenthood and mental health these steps can be taken: building a support system to help with personal needs and parenting struggles, communicate with your partner, setting realistic expectations with where you want to be in the future.”
