Postpartum Anxiety, OCD, and Living with Endometriosis

In this episode, Dr. Mary Ellen Kramp is joined by her niece Gabriela, who opens up about her unexpectedly intense postpartum journey. Gabriela shares what it was like to experience postpartum anxiety and OCD, conditions she didn't even know existed until her therapist named them, and how years of therapy and a strong support system helped her find her way through. She also speaks candidly about her endometriosis diagnosis, the long road to getting answers, a partial hysterectomy during the early days of COVID, and the ongoing challenges of living with chronic pelvic pain.
