Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders: More Than Just "Baby Blues"
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders go beyond the “baby blues.” They involve complex emotions like sadness, anxiety, and overwhelming fear, affecting daily life in ways many don’t expect. Mothers may struggle with bonding, energy, or even managing basic tasks. These mental health challenges can impact relationships, work, and self-worth, making support crucial for healing.
Identifying the Subtle Clues: What Your Mind and Body Might Be Telling You
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) refer to a range of mental health conditions that can occur during pregnancy or within the first year after childbirth. These disorders affect a mother’s emotional well-being, often causing overwhelming feelings of sadness, fear, or anxiety that interfere with daily life. Understanding the subtle clues your mind and body give you is crucial for early recognition and support.
Common Signs of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Feeling constantly anxious or worried about your baby’s health or your own well-being, sometimes leading to panic attacks.
Persistent Sadness or Depression
Feeling a deep sense of sadness or a lack of joy, even in moments that once brought happiness.
