Sophia Momodu Urges Mothers to Seek Help for Postpartum Depression

Sophia Momodu has urged mothers experiencing postpartum depression to seek help and avoid suffering in silence. Speaking after sharing her experience at an event at Columbia University in New York, she said maternal mental health deserves compassion rather than shame. She noted that postpartum depression is a health condition, not a reflection of a woman’s strength, love for her child or ability to parent. She also called on families and communities to offer stronger support to mothers. Momodu said honest conversations can help women feel less alone and encourage them to get the care they need.
