Just days after the birth of her first child, Dubbo mum Letitia Bassingthwaighte experienced postnatal psychosis — a frightening condition she had never even heard of.

The specialist help she needed was a four-hour round trip away, putting pressure on herself and her family.

In this episode of Life Connected, powered by nbn, Letitia shares how online care gave her access to specialist support from home. Gidget Foundation CEO Arabelle Gibson and clinical psychologist Katie Peterson explain how telehealth has been life-changing for regional parents.
