Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders

1 in 7 mothers experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy or the postpartum period.


While many women experience some mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15 to 20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. Please know that with informed care you can prevent a worsening of these symptoms and can fully recover. There is no reason to continue to suffer.
