Some days are so overwhelming it feels like you’re barely keeping it together. Balancing it all—work, family, and relationships—just feels too much to handle. You’re feeling directionless & defeated with no solution in sight. You keep telling yourself it shouldn’t be this hard, but thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “This shouldn’t be happening to me” keep playing on a loop in your head. Life changes have only made things harder. You could be returning to work after maternity leave, starting a new job, or your kids are going to a new school—these transitions bring a whole new level of stress.

I believe grief is a highly personal experience and is often not a linear process. To undergo the process alone can feel very isolating and unprocessed grief can hold us back from living. The dominant American culture often does not allow much space or permission to grieve. It often feels like nobody understands your loss. Not even your partner really understands, because they’re grieving in their own way. It hurts, possibly more than anything you have ever experienced. Life doesn’t seem fair right now and it’s hard to imagine moving forward.

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.
