During pregnancy or the first year after childbirth many women experience feelings such as:
- Anxiety, excessive worries or panic
- Hopelessness and helplessness
- Depression, sadness, or grief
- Frequent crying, extreme irritability
- Distressing thoughts that are difficult to control
- Inability to sleep when tired
- Fearfulness, guilt or shame
If this sounds like you, you are not alone.
About 10-20% of women suffer from depression, anxiety or other distressing emotional reactions during pregnancy or after childbirth. This translates to about 800,000 mothers a year in the U.S. Unfortunately, only about 15% receive proper support and treatment. You should not be one of them! Contact us today!
