Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or not like yourself after childbirth?
If you are experiencing a medical emergency or emotional crisis, dial 911 and/or call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
The “baby blues” — tearfulness, mood swings, feeling overwhelmed in the first couple of weeks after birth — are common and may pass on their own. Postpartum depression and anxiety are different: more intense, longer-lasting, and not something you can just push through.
It can affect any parent, not only birthing parents, and it can start during pregnancy as well as after delivery. None of it reflects how much you love your baby or how capable a parent you are — it’s a medical condition, and a very treatable one.
Everyone experiences postpartum depression and anxiety differently. You may benefit from talking to a provider if you have any, or a combination of, the symptoms below.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our licensed providers are available to help you understand what’s going on and build a plan from here.
Depression that develops soon after delivery or within the first year after birth.
Persistent, hard-to-control worry centered on your baby’s health and safety, or your ability to parent.
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts about your baby’s safety, paired with checking or avoidance behaviors.
Support for the broader emotional weight of a major life transition, even without a formal diagnosis.
Postpartum mood symptoms come from a mix of biology, history, and circumstance.
Many patients do well with a combination of psychiatric medication management (when medically appropriate) and talk therapy, tailored to their symptoms and goals.
Many antidepressants are considered generally safe with breastfeeding — your provider will talk through the risks and benefits with you.
Meet with a licensed provider from your phone, tablet, or computer, wherever you feel most comfortable.
Booking takes just a few minutes. We’ll connect you with a licensed provider who treats postpartum conditions and get you on the calendar.

Yes. Depression isn’t limited to birthing parents — partners and adoptive parents can experience it as well, driven by the same mix of sleep loss, stress, and life change.
Postpartum psychosis is rare and much more severe, involving symptoms like confusion, hallucinations, or delusions, usually within the first days or weeks after birth — it’s a medical emergency. Postpartum depression and anxiety are far more common and don’t involve a break from reality.
