Pregnancy & Postpartum
According to Postpartum Support International, as many as 1 in 7 mothers (and 1 in 10 fathers) suffer from postpartum depression. Many individuals may also experience other mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and postpartum such as anxiety, panic, and OCD.
How do you know if you’re experiencing “normal” worries and mood changes during pregnancy vs when it is time to seek professional support?
If you’re experiencing feelings of guilt, shame, or hopelessness; loss of interest or pleasure in things that used to bring you joy; feelings of anger, rage, or irritability; disturbances of sleep or appetite; lack of interest in or difficulty bonding with the baby; racing thoughts and worries; or unwanted or scary thoughts, please reach out for support - you are not alone, and you can feel better.
