Postpartum Depression
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
As a certified nurse midwife, I provided bedside care to women and their families for 14 years before moving onto mental health. The first thing I did as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner was to start a perinatal service to support women throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Postpartum can be a challenging time for the birthing parent as well as their partner, robbing them of bonding with their baby. This is a multifactorial condition that can be treated with early intervention and support.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.
