Mothers Care

Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? 💭

Maternal mental health doesn’t look just one way, and symptoms can show up anytime during pregnancy or postpartum.

What you’re feeling might be:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• OCD
✳️ Perinatal Mental Health Disorders also include bipolar mood disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. ✳️

All are common, temporary, and treatable, but they do require support.

Too often, parents experience symptoms like: irritability, racing thoughts, guilt, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or constant worry… and don’t realize there’s a name for it.

When we connect the dots, we make maternal mental health visible.
And when it’s visible, it becomes treatable, supportable, and understood.
