'Ultimately, I survived my first year with my son by interpreting the ancient rules of Zen Buddhism for modern motherhood and for me.'
, published in 2018 by The Health Collective, Vandita Morarka highlights how mental health issues around motherhood aren’t short-term either.

Don’t allow yourself to be lonely. Talk to people you trust and can help. Your doctor. Your midwife. Your partner. The friends who have your back and understand the mothering experience. Connect with people who are also first-time mothers. Sharing your thoughts will make you feel less isolated. Asking for help is not a show of weakness. It takes a village, remember.
