TED: A new way to think about the transition to motherhood | Alexandra Sacks

The video discusses the transition to motherhood, termed 'matrescence,' likening it to adolescence due to similar emotional and physical changes. The speaker, a reproductive psychiatrist, highlights the unrealistic expectations new mothers face and the confusion between matrescence and postpartum depression. She emphasizes the importance of understanding this transition as a normal process, not a disease, and encourages open discussions among mothers to reduce stigma and improve support systems.
