Postpartum Depression (PPD) treatment and support services focus on helping new mothers navigate the complex emotional challenges that may arise following childbirth. PPD is a common mental health concern characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that can hinder a mother's ability to care for herself or her newborn. We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.

* Counseling and Psychotherapy: Offering individual therapy sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), to address the specific emotional needs of each mother.
* Medication Management: Assessing and providing guidance on the use of medications when necessary, while considering breastfeeding and hormonal fluctuations.
* Support Groups: Facilitating support groups to provide a shared space where mothers can connect with others going through similar experiences.
* Partner and Family Involvement: Involving partners and family members in the recovery process, providing education to enhance their understanding and ability to offer support.

Psychiatrist, M.D.
Postpartum depression is a serious but treatable illness. Safe and effective treatment benefits both the mother and baby. All aspects contributing to the situation are carefully evaluated and addressed. If medication is indicated, the needs of the mother and baby are considered. Lactation concerns are considered as well.
