Are You Struggling During Pregnancy or After Birth? You Are Not Alone.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are often depicted as a time of joy and fulfillment, but for many mothers, it can also be overwhelming and emotionally challenging. If you're experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or worry during pregnancy or after giving birth, you may be dealing with a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD).

Common Symptoms Include:

• Intense mood swings

• Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness

• Overwhelming anxiety or panic attacks

• Difficulty bonding with your baby

• Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

• Intrusive thoughts or fears about harm coming to yourself or your baby
