Are you experiencing anxiety around your pregnancy or worrying bad happening to your or your child?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
 

According to recent studies, as many as 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads experience symptoms of Perinatal Mental Health Disorders. Symptoms can appear at any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth.  Left untreated, these symptoms can continue well past the first year.  Although the term postpartum depression is most often used, there are actually several forms of disorders that also include: 

  • Depression during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Pregnancy or postpartum OCD

  • Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

  • Bipolar Mood Disorders

  • Postpartum Psychosis

​

These are highly treatable and with the right specialist, you can enjoy being a mom.
