You’re Not Alone in This Season of Change

Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring immense physical, emotional, and identity shifts. While this time can be filled with joy and anticipation, it can also bring unexpected challenges.

If you’ve found yourself feeling anxious, detached, overwhelmed, or not like yourself—you are not alone.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

What Are Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs)?

Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs) refer to a group of emotional and psychological conditions that can occur during pregnancy or after childbirth. They include:

  • Perinatal Depression

  • Perinatal Anxiety

  • Perinatal or Postpartum OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

  • Panic Disorder

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Birth or NICU Trauma

  • Bipolar

  • Psychosis

  • Adjustment and Identity Changes

PMHDs can begin anytime—from conception through the first year after birth—

and sometimes even beyond. They’re medical conditions, not character flaws, and with proper care, recovery is possible.

Common Signs & Symptoms

PMHDs can show up differently for everyone. You might notice:

  • Feeling sad, hopeless, or unlike yourself

  • Racing thoughts, guilt, or constant worry

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Panic, restlessness, or intrusive thoughts

  • Fear something bad will happen

  • Changes in sleep, appetite, or concentration

  • Avoidance of certain activities or fears

  • Rage

  • Feeling disconnected, numb, or “on edge”

You don’t have to experience all of these symptoms for support to be beneficial.

If something feels off, that’s enough reason to reach out.

Partners Experience PMHDs Too

Perinatal mental health affects the entire family. Studies show that 1 in 10 partners experience postpartum depression or anxiety, often silently.


Parenthood is a profound transition for everyone involved. That’s why at Perinatal Wellness, therapy supports both birthing and non-birthing parents in navigating the emotional shifts of early parenthood.
