MGH Center for Women's Mental Health

MGH Center for Women's Mental Health We invite you to visit our website at www.womensmentalhealth.org

The Ammon-Pinizzotto Center for Women’s Mental Health at MGH was established in 1989 and has been renamed following the generous gift from Carol Ammon and Dr. Marie Pinizzotto. Our website (www.womensmentalhealth.org) provides a range of current information including discussion of new research findings in women’s mental health and how such investigations inform day-to-day clinical practice. Despite the growing number of studies being conducted in women’s health, the clinical implications of such work are frequently controversial, leaving patients with questions regarding the most appropriate path to follow. Providing these resources to patients and their doctors so that individual clinical decisions can be made in a thoughtful and collaborative fashion dovetails with the mission of our Center.

This week we’re revisiting a powerful moment from Episode 7 of So Glad You Asked with Dr. Ruta Nonacs. In this clip, Allie reflects on her experience with postpartum anxiety — before she even had the words for it:

“I look at the symptoms of postpartum anxiety and I feel like that was completely me, but I didn’t know that that was me... I just thought, ‘Of course it’s hard being a mom.’” — Allie Hales

We're so thankful to Allie, and every mom who’s opened up on the show, for speaking honestly about postpartum mental health. We are grateful to be in conversation together.

Can you relate? Learn more about postpartum anxiety and how to treat it in Episode 7 of So Glad You Asked.

This week on So Glad You Asked Shorts, Dr. Ruta Nonacs discusses the chances of experiencing postpartum depression again after a previous episode.

If you’ve had postpartum depression before, the risk of recurrence is about 50%. But there are steps you can take to reduce that risk.

Bolstering your support system to improve sleep and ease breastfeeding challenges can make a big difference. Some moms also choose to start an antidepressant during pregnancy to help prevent another episode.

Happy Wednesday! In this week’s So Glad You Asked Short, Dr. Ruta Nonacs explains how treatment for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) may shift during pregnancy. For some, treatment evolves as hormonal cycles change, while for others, continuing the same treatment may be the best path forward.

🗨️“If you’ve had multiple episodes of depression, we would consider continuing an antidepressant during pregnancy.” — Dr. Ruta Nonacs
