Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are a range of mental health conditions that can occur during and after pregnancy. These conditions include postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, and others, and are distinct from the common “baby blues.” The most supportive treatments identify relevant modifiable risk factors for each individual, including risk factors such as sleep disruption, birth trauma, hormonal fluctuations, financial stressors, social isolation, and more. Without support or treatment, PMADs have lasting effects on the parent and child.
