Every new baby is one-of-a kind, and so is every mom. Some women seem to sail through pregnancy and motherhood with ease. Others ride a roller coaster of emotions, feeling happy and excited one minute, and lonely and sad the next. We recognize that early intervention is crucial to help women and their families for a healthy long-lasting outcome.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD), also known as Postpartum Depression, can affect any woman who:
- Is currently pregnant.
- Has recently had a baby.
- Has ended a pregnancy or miscarried.
- Has stopped breastfeeding.
PMAD can appear days or even months to a year after childbirth. 1 out of 8 women experience PMAD. Warning signs are different for everyone, but can include:
- Appetite changes.
- Feeling anxious, hopeless, exhausted or crying uncontrollably.
- Feeling guilty or worthless.
- Feeling angry, irritable or nervous.
- Trouble concentrating or sleeping.
- Thoughts of harming self or baby.
- Lack of interest in baby.
- Lack of interest in sexual activity.
