Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are a group of mental health conditions that can affect women during pregnancy and after childbirth. They can include:
👉🏾 Anxiety
👉🏾 Depression
👉🏾 Panic disorder
👉🏾 OCD
👉🏾 PTSD
👉🏾 Other emotional or mood-related challenges
PMADs affect about 1 in 5 women during pregnancy and through the first year postpartum, yet many cases still go untreated. Support matters, and no woman should feel like she has to navigate these experiences alone.
