Perinatal Mental Health
Perinatal mental health focuses on the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals during the perinatal period, which encompasses the time from conception through the first year after birth. This period is a time of significant physical, emotional, and social change, which can bring both joy and challenges.
Maybe you’re a new parent and having a baby is everything you dreamed of, except it isn’t. You find yourself feeling anxious about everything surrounding your baby, feeling isolated, alone, maybe even sad. Maybe you’ve even had thoughts about not wanting to be a parent any longer. Maybe your partner is feeling this way and you are not sure what to do.
Or maybe this is your second or third child and you are not sure what is wrong with you because you did not feel this way after your first child. This is making taking care of your other children difficult and making being with your partner even more difficult.
Maybe you are having difficulty getting pregnant or have suffered a loss.
Maybe you’re pregnant and facing a difficult decision to terminate.
Maybe you are currently pregnant and are not sure how to cope with having a child because it is already so hard.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders are the most common complication of childbirth and one of the most ignored. PMADs affect every income level, race, culture, and age. You are not alone. There is help. You do not have to suffer alone.
