General Information
Pregnancy and the childbirth can create a new mix of emotions such as excitement and wonder. But new mothers may also experience less joyful feelings, like postpartum depression, mood swings, sadness and anxiety. Our team will work to diagnose your form of depression, which may include:
- Baby blues, a very common form of mood swings, which usually resolves within two weeks of delivery
- Postpartum depression, including feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, irritability and disconnection from loved ones that lasts longer than a few weeks
- Depression and anxiety related to miscarriages, pregnancy-related trauma or infertility
- Depression and anxiety before, during and after pregnancy
