Maternal Mental Health

Feeling low or overwhelmed after having a baby? You’re not alone in this experience. If you’re struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety or hopelessness during pregnancy or after giving birth, you may be facing perinatal or postpartum depression. These emotions can deeply affect your mood and energy, making it challenging to embrace this precious time with your little one.

The good news is that perinatal and postpartum depression are common and treatable—and can affect fathers as well. At Bear River Mental Health, we understand the unique challenges that new parents encounter. Our compassionate therapists specialize in maternal and parental mental health and are here to provide support on your journey to healing. Our therapy options are tailored to help you navigate your emotions, regain your energy and strengthen the bond with your baby—before, during and after pregnancy.

 Understanding the Risk Factors for Perinatal or Postpartum Depression

While anyone can experience perinatal or postpartum depression, certain risk factors may increase the likelihood, including:

  • Difficulty conceiving
  • Pregnancy complications
  • Premature birth
  • Traumatic birth experiences
  • Loss of an infant at birth
  • A personal or family history of depression or anxiety before, during or after pregnancy
  • Unmet expectations regarding pregnancy or childbirth

By acknowledging these factors, we can better understand the complexities of this journey and ensure that those who may be affected feel care and support.

You are not alone in your struggles and help is available.
