Whether you are facing depression or simply having trouble adjusting, post-partum counseling can be a highly effective tool to navigate this part of your life.
The post-partum period can be one of the most joyful and difficult times in a woman’s life. Going through the difficulty of childbirth and recovery, along with shifting hormone levels and adjustments to caring for a new baby can put a lot of stress on a person. Some new mothers experience post-partum depression, a mood disorder that has been attributed to various factors. If you feel persistently sad, overwhelming feelings of anxiety, or excessively irritable, you may be struggling with this issue. Losing interest in activities, thoughts of harming yourself or your child, or struggling to bond can also be symptoms of post-partum depression.
Whether you are facing depression or simply having trouble adjusting, post-partum counseling can be a highly effective tool to navigate this part of your life.
