Perinatal Mental Health

Perinatal mental health refers to the emotional well-being of individuals during pregnancy and after childbirth, up to one year postpartum. It encompasses a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and postpartum psychosis, which can affect anyone who has given birth. These conditions not only impact the individual’s health but also their relationships and parenting abilities. Recognizing and addressing perinatal mental health is crucial for ensuring the well-being of both the parent and the child, promoting healthy bonds and optimal development during this critical period. Support and treatment options are available for those in need.
