PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH

WHAT IS PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH?

Bringing a new life into the world can be a journey of joy, but it's also one fraught with unique challenges, many of which are hidden beneath the surface. Often made more difficult to talk about because of the perceived fear or stigma associated with them. This can include:

​

  • Trauma often related to difficulties during pregnancy and birth

  • Pregnancy and perinatal loss

  • Postnatal Depression, OCD and Anxiety, where parents grapple with feelings of                   sadness, anxiety, and overwhelm

  • Isolation and loneliness due to the demands of caring for a baby

  • Loss of self-Identity, as parenthood often comes with a struggle to reconcile your old

  • self with the new roles and responsibilities, which can trigger feelings of loss, confusion,

  • and even guilt

​

Addressing perinatal mental health is not just about the emotional well-being of parents; it's about ensuring a healthier start for your baby, improving parent-child bond, physical health and relationships around you and your baby.

This is where Next Page Psychology comes in…Welcome to my world of perinatal care, where the journey of parenthood begins with emotional well-being.
