You knew being a mom would be hard, but you didn't count on feeling so anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. These feelings can make it hard to connect with your baby. Then there's the much needed alone time you crave, but feel guilty just thinking about it, letting alone taking it.
Postpartum depression/anxiety is more common than you think. 1 in 5 women will experience mood disorders in the United States.
Changes in mood can start as early as pregnancy. Or as late as 1 and 1/2 years postpartum. Some moms don’t recognize the changes they are experiencing as symptoms of depression and anxiety. So they don't ask for help.
No mom experiences the postpartum period exactly the same way.
Getting personalized support can make all the difference.
