Imelda May; the 'boomerang generation'; maternal depression

Available for over a year

Dublin-born rockabilly singer Imelda May will be joining Jenni to talk about her new album and performing live in the Woman's Hour Studio. Following the death of Maya Angelou, the American poet and author, we look back at her influence and what her legacy will be. Why according to the latest research from Australia mothers are more likely to suffer from postnatal depression four years after giving birth. They found that 14% of women suffered depression when their child was approaching school age, despite many of them never having had previous problems. But what are its triggers and how can you tackle it. Plus according to the Office for National Statistics, 3.3 million UK adults in their 20s and 30s now live with their parents. We ask parents about the financial and emotional costs of keeping their grown-up family under one roof and the challenges of life as a parent of the so-called boomerang generation.
