Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders | Birth & Baby Doula Prep

  • High Country Doulas, LLC (map)

We understand how impactful pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be on your body. It not only effects our physical body, but our brain as well.

Did you know most birthing people with a maternal mental illness never receive professional treatment for it? The sad fact is untreated depression and anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year postpartum, can lead to negative long-term health in the children as well.

Did you know maternal mental illness is a serious public health problem? Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can affect ANY birthing person, regardless of age, race, or financial situation.

There is a stigma surrounding mental illness, however, sufferers have nothing to be ashamed of! Seeking help sooner than later is key to successful recovery and proper management. Maternal mental health is extremely important as both the parent and baby can be impacted. Let’s break the stigma together by having an open conversation together!

Our goal is to provide you with the proper information and resources, as well as to have an open discussion about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, which is why we invite you to attend our next Birth & Baby Doula Prep, Learning Session, Perinatal Mood And Anxiety Disorders.
