🦃🥧 Thanksgiving is around the corner, which can come with a double helping of complex emotions! You may be feeling less blessed and more stressed-whether this is the first holiday without a loved one, a highlight of strained family dynamics, or you are spending the day differently than what you’d imagined- that is okay. While there is always something to be grateful for, it does not mean the rest of our emotions matter any less. Please take time to acknowledge all of them in the coming weeks and months as we kick off the holiday season 🥧🦃

Have you ever heard the phrase, “hold the mother, not the baby”?

For anyone welcoming a new baby, it is safe to say that there will be a vast range of emotions that will be felt. In fact, the pregnancy and postpartum periods have the most drastic hormone shift that a human can experience!

Did you know su***de is the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the US? This includes pregnancy and most commonly, the first year after delivery. This can be attributed to a few things, including lack of sleep and the physical and emotional stress of parenthood. If a new parent doesn’t have a support system, had preexisting mental health conditions, or experienced a birth trauma, this already difficult adjustment period is amplified.

The average pregnancy without complications usually will have approximately 15 appointments. The average postpartum patient will have only one visit. That leaves it up to the patient, their family, and friends to look for signs. Do you know a new mama that could use some help? Offer a meal, a cup of coffee, and a listening ear. Have a and help them find mental health support if needed. It could make all the difference ❤️‍🩹

🚹 M E N ‘ S M E N T A L H E A L T H -
A topic that is not often discussed but is extremely important.

As many as 1 in 2 men will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime, less than half of those will seek treatment, and 40% have not spoken to anyone about their mental health. Men are twice as likely to abuse alcohol and four times as likely to commit su***de than their female counterparts.

So why isn’t this something that is talked about? The leading answers are the embarrassment and the stigma of having a mental health condition. Men do not have to “man up”. Men do cry. Men are just as deserving of self care. It is my hope that seeing the numbers inspires even one person to take their mental health seriously and to seek the help they deserve 🚹

“There were 49,430 su***des among individuals ages 12 and older in 2022.

But su***des are just the tip of the iceberg. For every su***de death, there were about:

• 11 emergency department visits for self-harm

• 52 self-reported su***de attempts in the past year

• 336 people who seriously considered su***de in the past year”
