Perinatal Mental Health Disorders
Perinatal Mental Health Disorders impact 15 to 20% of birthing people during their perinatal period.
• They are the #1 complication from childbirth.
• There are at least six subtypes of PMHDs, causing a variety of symptoms.
• They often go undiagnosed and untreated, affecting the whole family.
What is "perinatal"?
The term "perinatal" means the period all around pregnancy, from conception until 1 year postpartum
• Mental health symptoms and disorders can impact us at any time during our lives.
• However, evidence has shown that there is a marked increase in them during the perinatal period.
Maternal/Paternal Mental Health
All parents past the official "perinatal" period, are in the right place. I provide ongoing support for maternal/paternal mental health through your parenting journey
I support all parents in understanding the emotional reactivity we notice towards ourselves, our children, and the different people in our lives as we move through the perinatal period and further into our parenting experiences
