Understanding Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, commonly referred to as PMADs, are a group of mental health conditions that occur during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. These disorders can range from mild to severe and can affect individuals regardless of their background or prior mental health history.

PMADs include a variety of conditions such as:
- Postpartum depression (PPD): a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest after giving birth
- Postpartum anxiety: excessive worry, restlessness, or panic attacks
- Postpartum OCD: intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or repetitive behaviors
- Postpartum PTSD: intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares related to a traumatic birth experience
- Postpartum psychosis: hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking
Common Symptoms
Individuals experiencing PMADs may exhibit a range of symptoms, including:
- Feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Difficulty bonding with the baby
- Excessive worry or fear
- Feeling overwhelmed or out of control
