The adjustment to becoming a parent can be challenging and the experience of a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder can make things even more complicated. Over the last few months, I have been focused on writing blog posts specifically focused on addressing the concerns that new parents have shared with me along with posts sharing information about perinatal mental health.
This post is a recap of everything that I have written for new parents and those who are supporting new parents. I hope you find it helpful to have all of the information in one easily, accessible place.
