Care for Mind and Body
After you give birth, it’s natural for new and difficult emotions to arise as your hormones, body, and life change. Your mental health is as important as your physical health. To support you after you have a baby, we screen for and treat postpartum depression early.
What is Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression refers to feelings of sadness, numbness, or emptiness that many women experience after giving birth. Although postpartum depression is common—up to one in nine women experience it—you don’t need to get through alone. Seeking the right care can help both you and your baby be as healthy as you can be during this new phase of life.
