About
My name is Maddy and I am a PhD student working at the Stress, Psychiatry and Immunology (SPI) Lab. I am also a writer and Editor for Inspire the Mind!
My research is focused on perinatal depression (depression during pregnancy and within one year after giving birth). I am particularly interested in the biological mechanisms of how depression during and after pregnancy can impact the development of the offspring, and how it can increase the risk for psychiatric disorders.

What “Die, My Love” gets right, and wrong, about maternal mental health
In an era where we are often bombarded with seemingly glamorous and smooth transitions into parenthood, the movie Die, my love shows viewers the other end of the spectrum.
Based on the novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz, Die, my love follows aspiring novelist Grace, played by Jennifer Lawrence, and her boyfriend Jackson, played by Robert Pattinson, as they leave their life in New York City for a small farmhouse in rural Montana. We first meet the couple while they are touring the house.

Creators, and the algorithm, are now pushing toxic mantras like “If your stomach is growling, pretend it's applauding you” and “You don’t need a treat, you’re not a dog”.
