What is Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD) or “postpartum?”
• It is depression or anxiety that occurs during pregnancy or postpartum (within a year after birth).
• It is very common.
• It can be mild, moderate, or severe.
How do I know if I might be depressed or anxious?
• People with perinatal depression and anxiety usually sense that “something is not right.”
Would you answer “yes” to any following statements?
• I feel very sad and hopeless most days.
• I am not enjoying life like I used to.
• I blame myself for everything.
• I worry about everything.
• I am afraid and I do not know why.
• I feel overwhelmed and have a hard
time coping.
• I cry a lot.
• I cannot sleep well because I am unhappy.
• I want to sleep all the time.
• I am confused and distracted.
• I get angry very easily.
• I do not think I will be a good mother.
• I think of harming myself or others.
• I hear voices or see things that are not there.
If you answered “yes” to any of these statements above, you may be anxious or depressed. You are not alone: Many pregnant people and new parents experience this. If feelings of anxiety or depression last for a few weeks or affect your everyday life, it is time to ask for help.
How could Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder affect my baby?
It can be harder to form a strong emotional attachment. Attachment is important to your baby’s development. Your baby could also:
• Be born too small or too early.
• Be fussy and/or jittery.
• Have feeding or sleeping problems.
• End up with learning problems or with behavior problems.
Where can I get more support for my mental well-being?
• Your healthcare provider.
• Local groups such as community groups and parenting classes to connect with others.
