Depression is not just a mental health condition. Although depression is not technically considered a physical illness, it can have a serious detrimental effect on your physical health.
Perinatal depression can be emotionally devastating. The symptoms can crop up towards the end of the third trimester.
Mothers can have vastly different experiences giving birth. Many are not fully prepared for everything that will occur once they go into labor, or the lasting impact of the experience.
Today, parenting can feel relentless. On top of the typical demands of raising children, you’re constantly exposed to “picture-perfect” images of parenthood on social media.
Perhaps you have recently given birth, and you simply haven’t bonded with your baby in how you expected. You’ve been caring for your child 24/7.
