1 of Only a Few Centers Nationwide Treating Mom
and Baby for Postpartum Depression—Together
Support for new moms starts at home
Husbands, partners, and extended family members can help support
their loved one if she shows signs of postpartum depression.
Make sure she sees her obstetrician or primary care physician,
and in the meantime, do your best to stay hopeful.
— Remind mom that she is doing a great job, the baby looks
very healthy, and that she is and will continue to be a good mom.
— Reassure her that you are always there to support her.
If you fear that there is immediate danger, such as self-harm or harm to the
baby, dial 9-1-1 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-SUICIDE
(1-800-784-2433) for guidance.
Comprehensive Screenings for Faster Treatment
AHN Women’s Health specialists use more thorough methods to identify
expectant and new mothers for mood and anxiety disorders. This helps
women get the support they need, faster.
