Perinatal Mental Health
3 articles from our Denver practice.
Pregnancy and the year after birth carry the highest mental-health risk of any period in a woman’s life, and Catholic mothers often absorb an additional layer of guilt about admitting it. These articles cover perinatal anxiety and postpartum depression, the intrusive thoughts that frighten new mothers most, and what preparing for the postpartum period can look like before the baby arrives.
If you are looking for care rather than reading, see our perinatal mental health support.
