Antidepressants during pregnancy? Let’s talk facts.

In July, an FDA panel cast dangerous doubt on SSRIs, the most studied and commonly prescribed antidepressants used during pregnancy. The discussion was deeply flawed, relying on poor or no evidence and ignoring the well-known risks of untreated perinatal mental health conditions.

We’re reproductive mental health therapists, and we want to be clear:

- SSRIs are safe for many pregnant people
- Untreated depression is not safer
- Parents deserve full access to evidence-based care, INCLUDING medication when needed.

Mental health is health.
And misinformation kills.

🧠 Stress vs. Anxiety: What’s the Difference?
They feel similar, but they’re not the same. 👀 Let’s break it down:

✨ Stress is usually tied to a real-life pressure (like deadlines or money).
😵‍💫 Anxiety can show up without a clear reason, and stick around even after the stressor is gone.

Here are 4 ways to tell them apart:
1️⃣ Cause: Stress = external. Anxiety = often internal.
2️⃣ Duration: Stress fades. Anxiety lingers.
3️⃣ Body feels: Stress = tense. Anxiety = panicked.
4️⃣ Thoughts: Stress = “get it done.” Anxiety = “what if I fail?”

👂 Remember: both are valid. Both deserve care.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone, and support is always here. 💛

✨ What healing really looks like? It’s not linear.
Some days you’ll feel free and full of light.
Other days, the old pain will sneak back in and make you question if you’ve even made progress.
You have. 💛

Healing isn’t a straight line; it’s spirals, waves, rest stops, and growth in ways you might not even notice right away.

📌 You might cry after a breakthrough.
📌 You might laugh in the middle of grief.
📌 You might need to pause before you keep going.
📌 You might have a few 'off' days after processing the events (that IS the healing)

You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re just human. And healing.

Our Mission / Vision

At Forward Wellness we strive to support all people and families to access quality mental health care. We want to reduce the stigma of mental health care while increasing access to information with a socially conscious mind. -We believe growth is a human condition. -We believe growth occurs through self reflection and is an act of personal liberation -We believe moving through discomfort to transformation is magnificent and as therapists, we are honored to be a witness. -We believe there is no one correct way to heal and each of us has a unique story, thus each client deserves a flexible, unique and personal therapeutic experience. ​ None of us can grow in isolation - we all grow together
