Postpartum Support Virginia Inc

ANXIETY and DEPRESSION

 

Postpartum Support Virginia (PSVa) helps new and expectant mothers and their families overcome perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), including anxiety and depression.

"It was so reassuring to hear that things will get better and that I am not the only one going through this."

PMADs are the #1 complication of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting up to 1 in 5 new or expectant mothers.  They are caused by changes in biology, psychology and environment.

• postpartum depression and/or anxiety
• obsessive / compulsive disorder
• postpartum PTSD
• depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy

 

"It's nice to know there are people with whom I can talk openly about this issue without fear of judgment." 

 

PSVa helps mothers and their families by providing:

• one-on-one support via phone or email
• FREE peer-led support groups
• information and resources
• referrals to mental health professionals who specialize in treating women with these conditions

 

"I feel ten times better after each group."

 

Help Postpartum Support Virginia help new and expectant mothers -- perhaps your mother, daughter, sister, wife, or best friend.
