Description

This is a chat with the legend Craig Anderson. Craig is a passionate mental health advocate, Gidget Angel and father of three.


Craig spent the early months of fatherhood caring for his wife Rebecca, who experienced significant post-natal depression. Little did he know in the coming months it would be him that would require assistance dealing with a post-natal anxiety disorder.


Craig walks us through the ups and downs of his experience as well as breaking down in simplicity what it felt like for him. His experience is one many dad’s will go through and we thank him for his time and vulnerability.
