A big part of the work we do at Deaf Counseling Center is de-stigmatizing mental health issues and experiences. One that we wish more people understood is postpartum depression (PPD). PPD is a mental health condition that sometimes affects parents after a baby is born. It can create feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion, all of which combine to make it extremely difficult to function. Research shows that 1 in 7 mothers experience PPD, but it can also affect fathers and adoptive parents. For women, hormonal changes, particularly drops in estrogen and progesterone after giving birth, seem to trigger these symptoms. Thank you, Kelsey, for normalizing and opening up about your experience with PPD.
