We Treat Postpartum Depression

Also known as Perinatal Depression, this type of depression occurs during or after pregnancy and is characterized by severe mood swings, exhaustion, insomnia, loss of appetite, hopelessness and difficulty bonding with the baby that could last longer than months. Men may experience irritability, indecisiveness, and restricted range of emotion. About 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression after having a baby.
