Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood
With the thunderbolt of pregnancy and birth, the shock of adjusting to motherhood, especially if this is your first child, you might find you feel out of control.
Postpartum Psychosis
Postpartum psychosis is a rare but very serious mental illness, and must be treated as a medical emergency.
Birth Trauma and PTSD
Perhaps the birth was not the fulfilling experience you’d planned. Instead it was a trauma, an enormous shock to your entire system.
Postnatal Depression
One in ten women will develop postnatal depression which isn’t surprising given the often overwhelming adjustment to motherhood.
Antenatal Depression
Feeling weepy or experiencing mood swings is quite normal during pregnancy but not if you are unable to function.
