PRENATAL MOOD AND ANXIETY SUPPORT

Women who experience symptoms of depression or anxiety during pregnancy will find relief with appropriate intervention and support. Symptoms of depression and anxiety can be confused with some of the dramatic changes that are taking place during pregnancy. For women who are concerned about the way they are feeling, it can be reassuring to be evaluated by a professional who can help determine what is okay and what may need to be treated or supported.

The PPSC Postpartum Depression Risk Assessment
A non-scientific tool we use in our practice to increase our awareness of the factors that may put a woman at risk for depression. We find that it includes questions that are rarely asked during a routine medical exam yet the answers to these questions may alert the practitioner to cases where early intervention is indicated.
