As mothers, we know firsthand how truly disorienting, exhausting and isolating the perinatal period can be, a time that begins during pregnancy and can extend through the first year or more after a baby is born.
As clinicians, we know research shows 20% of women experience maternal mental health disorders during pregnancy through one full year after birth, and that 75% of women who experience these conditions remain undiagnosed and untreated.
Behind the statistics are real women and families navigating some of the most impactful and difficult transitions of their lives. Speaking openly about perinatal mental health helps reduce stigma and creates connection. It reminds mothers that they are not alone, and that struggling does not make them a “bad” mother.
If you or someone you love is struggling during pregnancy or after birth, please know that support is available.
You deserve to be heard, supported, and cared for. 🤍
