What is it?
Here is a blog posting that might give more insight to perinatal mental health.
Perinatal mental health disorders are much broader than depressive symptoms alone, though too often the term “postpartum depression” is used to generalize these conditions. The spectrum of disorders includes:
-Antenatal depression and anxiety
-Postpartum depression and anxiety
-Postpartum anxiety/panic disorder
-Postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder
-Postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder
-Postpartum psychosis.
I also work with woman/ families whom have experienced:
- Infertility
- Miscarriage
- Stillborn
- Infant Death
- Traumatic Birth
- Abortion
- Adoption
