Understanding and Supporting Maternal Mental Health through the lens of Postpartum Depression

Presented by: Dr. Renee Bruno

One in seven women suffer from postpartum depression and 50% of cases begin in pregnancy. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are treatable. Left untreated depression and anxiety can lead to negative maternal and maternal-child outcomes. Early intervention and treatment are the key to full recovery. Childbirth educators are in a position to offer education, support and guidance on perinatal complications including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Understanding and Supporting Maternal Mental Health through the lens of Postpartum Depression will define perinatal mood and anxiety symptoms under the umbrella of postpartum depression to assist childbirth educators in providing anticipatory guidance for those at risk or suffering.
