What are Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)?

PMADs are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting nearly 1 in 5 people during pregnancy and the first year postpartum.

Everyone’s experience is different. PMADs can include conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, and symptoms may go beyond the “baby blues.” These conditions can begin during pregnancy or months after birth and often require support and treatment.

💙 Help is available. Learn more and find resources at everybirth.org

Pregnancy and postpartum don’t magically reset in January. If this season feels heavy, support is still here. Local resources are available at everybirth.org, and help is always within reach through Postpartum Support International "chat with an expert" feature, where you can connect with trained experts for postpartum support.

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate this season by yourself.
