Putting postpartum psychosis on primetime TV with Professor Ian Jones
3 MAY 2022 · As well as being a Health and Care Research Wales Senior Research Leader, Professor Ian Jones is also director of the National Centre for Mental Health.

Ian explains how women’s health, and particularly mental health, is under-researched. He expresses the importance of his research, and others alike, to understand the factors that contribute to women’s increased risk of developing postpartum psychosis which will help develop thorough prevention tactics and better treatment.
Ian also gives his insight into the question: Where would we be without research?
