Postpartum and Perinatal Mental Health - Edmonton & St. Albert Psychologists
1 in 4 women will experience postpartum mental health concerns. Postpartum depression is more common than we think and makes the job of parenting so much harder than it already is. Postpartum anxiety is also a concern for many new parents. There are several perinatal mental health issues that can arise in the first year after delivery. These mood disorders can also affect both parents, while it is more common in the parent that gave birth. Most parents struggling with postpartum mood disorders feel very alone - now is a time you’re supposed to be happy, and yet….
Rarely do people talk about the negative aspects of trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Which may make you feel alone. I promise you are not. We are here for you.
