Every new baby is one-of-a-kind, and so is every parent. Some parents seem to sail through pregnancy and parenthood with ease. Others ride a roller coaster of emotions, feeling happy and excited one minute, lonely and sad the next.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), also known as Postpartum Depression, can affect anyone who:
- Is currently pregnant.
- Has recently had a baby.
- Has ended a pregnancy or miscarried.
- Has stopped breastfeeding.
Whether symptoms are mild or serious, if they last longer than two weeks or affect a person’s ability to enjoy their daily life, loved ones should encourage the parent to seek help. Early intervention is crucial to help patents and their families have a healthy, long-lasting outcome.
