reproductive mental health

Reproductive mental health refers to a person's emotional and psychological well-being related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses feelings, thoughts, and mental health challenges that can occur before, during, or after pregnancy, such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings. These issues can be influenced by hormonal changes, physical health, life circumstances, and support systems. Addressing reproductive mental health is important for the well-being of both the individual and their family, and treatment may include counseling, support groups, or medication if needed. Understanding and managing these mental health aspects promotes healthier outcomes for parents and their babies.
