Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? ๐ญ
Maternal mental health doesnโt look just one way, and symptoms can show up anytime during pregnancy or postpartum.
What youโre feeling might be:
โข Depression
โข Anxiety
โข OCD
โณ๏ธ Perinatal Mental Health Disorders also include bipolar mood disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. โณ๏ธ
All are common, temporary, and treatable, but they do require support.
Too often, parents experience symptoms like: irritability, racing thoughts, guilt, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or constant worryโฆ and donโt realize thereโs a name for it.
When we connect the dots, we make maternal mental health visible.
And when itโs visible, it becomes treatable, supportable, and understood.
