Welcome ...
     Whether you are a new mother, or are looking for resources for a loved one, we are here to assist you.

     Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, affecting 1 in 7 mothers.  If you are experiencing postpartum distress please know:

              You are not alone.
              You are not to blame.
             With help, you will be well.


  • Are you feeling sad or depressed?
  • Do you feel more irritable or angry with those around you?
  • Are you having difficulty bonding with your baby?
  • Do you feel anxious or panicky?
  • Are you having problems with eating or sleeping?
  • Are you having upsetting thoughts that you can't get out of your mind?
  • Do you feel as if you are "out of control" or "going crazy"?
  • Do you feel like you never should have become a mother?
  • Are you worried that you might hurt your baby or yourself?
Any of these symptoms, and many more, could indicate that you have a form of perinatal mood or anxiety disorder, such as postpartum depression. While many women experience some mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15-20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. Please know that with informed care, you can prevent a worsening of these symptoms and can fully recover. There is no reason to continue to suffer.          © Postpartum Support Int'l
