Perinatal mental health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals preconception, pregnancy, birth, and the first 12 months following the birth of a child. 

Common Perinatal Mental Health Concerns include:

- Postpartum Depression (PPD) 

- Postpartum Anxiety (PPA)

- Perinatal Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

- Perinatal Bipolar Disorders

- Postpartum Psychosis

- Birth Trauma and PTSD

The perinatal period is a vulnerable time because of the changes that occur (e.g., sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, lifestyle changes, etc.). 

Mental health challenges during this time can impact anyone regardless of previous mental health history and can have long-lasting effects. 

The perinatal period also includes difficult experiences such as infertility, pregnancy loss, infant loss, or birth and reproductive trauma. 

These experiences of loss and trauma are devastating and can be challenging to navigate. You do not need to journey through this alone. Connect with our team today to get the support you deserve.
