Parental Mental Health
Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria discuss parental mental illness
Bringing up a child if you have a mental illness can be a challenge.
This week we'll meet a woman from Hertfordshire who's earliest memory was trying to wake her mum up after she'd taken an overdose.
We'll hear the story of a family where the father had depression while raising his children.
And the specialist unit in Hertfordshire which looks after mums with post natal depression and their babies.
