Up to 1 in 5 birthing persons suffers from a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. Up to 10% of new fathers/partners experience depression in the first year. Perhaps this time of transition isn't what you were expecting. If that's you, you're not alone. You are not to blame. And with help, you can get better.

​

Supportive mental health care can involve many options for treatment and is not a one-size fits all approach. Discussing your needs with an informed provider can help you feel better sooner, whether it's through medication, support groups, nourishing supplementation and positive movement, and counseling/therapy.

​

Remember, having perinatal depression or anxiety does not mean you're failing. We all need support, and with informed treatment and supportive care, you can recover and thrive.
