Many people have heard of the "Baby Blues" or "Post-Partum Depression" (PPD), but most have not heard that 1 in 7 women are affected by depression related to being pregnant and this can last for years after delivery if left undiagnosed or treated properly . Also common are symptoms of Anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. Many are not aware that even dad's can be affected by PPD. It's important to know that if you are having symptoms you are not to blame, you are not alone, and with help, you will get better. I have completed an evidence-based www.postpartum.net/professionals/psi-certificate-training/2-day training for Perinatal Mood disorders provided by Postpartum Support International (www.postpartum.net). Did you know that that depression, anxiety, untreated PTSD DURING pregnancy can negatively impact the developing baby? ART (see my page on that) can quickly resolve distress to improve your chances of a healthy baby.
