Postpartum anxiety, depression, and birth trauma leaves us feeling crazy, guilty, and like bad mothers. You're tired of feeling like you're barely holding on. Maybe you can't sleep when your baby's asleep because you're worried something terrible will happen. Maybe you feel so overwhelmed by everything that you have to manage in addition to a baby that you feel like you're drowning. Maybe you had a traumatic birth and you don't feel like yourself anymore. Regardless, you're ready for relief. You're ready to feel more connected to yourself and your family. You're ready to be the kind of parent you've always wanted to be.

I believe that the client’s collaboration with their counselor in the therapeutic relationship is vital to their success. When clients actively participate in the process, they often realize that growth and change are possibilities. Therapy is sometimes taxing and frustrating, and, at times, beyond exasperating. Some might experience anger, frustration, or fear during the process. It is most often necessary to feel these emotions in order to grow and see the changes one desires. When the individual is ready to get real and honest with themselves, there isn't anything that can stop them from making positive changes.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists

What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?

The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?

Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?

A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.

Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?

In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
