Perinatal mood disorders may also be referred to as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD). Perinatal mood disorders are related to mood symptoms that occur during pregnancy or up to one year postpartum. The most common types of mood disorders are depression, dysthymia, anxiety, and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. There can also be Bipolar Disorder, Postpartum Psychosis, or substance-induced mood disorders that may appear.
Forms of psychotherapy that have been found to be helpful and effective in helping treat perinatal mood disorders include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and other forms of supportive psychotherapy. These forms of therapy can help focus on emotions and thought patterns, but also behavioral aspects. These approaches can help increase and rediscover the bond between parent and child, and also between partners.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Women’s bodies undergo a tremendous amount of change. New mothers face a ton pressure, if not self placed, the world around them will do it. These unnecessary pressures with biological hormonal changes can feel very heavy. All of this, when research has shown that the mothers happiness significantly impacts the baby. You matter mama!
After my own experience, it’s my passion to support mothers experiencing PPD because it can be avoided. With intentional steps, the symptoms can and will decrease, allowing you to enjoy your baby.
