This presentation will look at maternal mental health from conception, to birth, to postpartum. We’ll talk about things that shouldn’t be a secret and identify the boundaries and limitations of clinical help in the field of medicine and mental health. We will be discussing the shame behind postpartum anxiety and depression as well as women who’ve delivered in the world of COVID-19 and how that isolation has caused significant damage to their mental health. We’ll discuss ways to reach out and solutions when sadness becomes more than just being sad; develop a plan to talk to the doctors that support us in our lives as well as language to use when the hurt is becoming too much. We’ll discuss ways that clinicians and therapist can support their patients as well as foster autonomy within them to speak up when they’re experiencing depression or anxiety throughout their pregnancy and after.
