In this powerful episode of the Neshamos podcast, Hindy Rechaval shares her personal experience of navigating postpartum psychosis. Raised in a Chaseedish home and later joins the Chabad community in Crown Heights, Hindy opens up about the cultural pressures that shaped her sense of self-worth, and how everything unraveled after the birth of her first child.
What began as sleepless nights and racing thoughts spiraled into full-blown psychosis, hospitalization, and a long, painful period of overmedication. Finally, with the support of her husband, family, and mental health professionals, Hindy began to rebuild.
Now, she’s using her experience to break the silence around maternal mental health. She speaks about the power of gratitude, the strength of community, and her mission to support other women facing similar struggles, all while learning to hold space for both her dreams and her reality.
