How does Hilary Erickson’s approach to pregnancy mental health support outperform traditional methods?

From the conversation, it's clear that I, Hilary Erickson, advocate for a more holistic approach to mental health support during pregnancy and postpartum. I emphasize the importance of therapy in conjunction with medication, rather than medication alone. I also highlight the benefits of online therapy, which has become more accessible due to the pandemic. This approach removes barriers for new moms who may find it difficult to leave their homes for therapy sessions. I also share my personal experience with therapy, demonstrating that it can be a short-term solution for specific issues, rather than a lifelong commitment. This approach can be seen as outperforming traditional methods by addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of mental health, not just the physiological ones.
