Summary

Six weeks ago, Gethard talked to a guy who was calling from the hospital while he waited for his wife to give birth to their first child. This week, by some act of fate, she got through herself. Our caller catches Geth up on life as a new mom, and then the two have a real and raw conversation about mental health. She opens up about her experiences with bipolar disorder, the importance of understanding and advocating for mental health, and how she plans to handle conversations about mental health with her own child.
