On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Denise Welch’s open discussion of her post-natal depression on the Loose Women Podcast highlights the importance of mental health awareness and destigmatization.
Loose Women Podcast
The “Loose Women” podcast has launched with a powerful and deeply personal start, featuring Denise Welch’s candid discussion of her post-natal depression.
In the inaugural episode, Welch openly shared the profound impact of her experience, describing how the condition “robbed” her of the ability to fully bond with her son. She articulated the feeling of “just feeling wrong,” a stark contrast to the anticipated joy of her parents meeting their first grandchild. Most strikingly, she conveyed the harrowing sensation of “losing the ability to love her child,” a raw and honest admission that underscores the severity of post-natal depression.
Mental Health Awareness
Welch’s willingness to share her story contributes significantly to breaking down the stigma surrounding post-natal depression. The podcast provides a valuable platform for open and honest conversations about mental health, encouraging others to seek help and support.
This episode also featured Ayda Field Williams, who shared her own experiences related to mental health, including her husband Robbie Williams’s addiction struggles and her own journey with surrogacy. This demonstrates the podcast’s commitment to tackling a wide range of mental health issues.
“Loose Women: The Podcast” aims to delve deeper into topics close to the hearts of the panelists, offering a more intimate and in-depth discussion than the television show.
Released twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, the podcast is available on audio platforms, ITVX, and YouTube, making it accessible to a wide audience. The discussions, particularly Denise Welch’s openness about post-natal depression, highlight the importance of raising awareness and providing crucial support for those struggling with mental health.
