PPD develops around the time a woman gives birth. Women with PPD often struggle with anxiety, sadness, difficulty sleeping, or disturbing thoughts. Research suggests that it is triggered by changes in hormones and that women with PPD are sensitive to those changes. PPD occurs in approximately 15% of births.
Mental health challenges during pregnancy, or the first life of your child’s life are common. You are not alone and you are not to blame. Often, ideas of pregnancy and parenthood can be romanticized while your personal experience can feel both overwhelming and daunting.
