This episode sheds light on this condition, which develops during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts, life changes, and genetic factors.

We discuss the importance of talking to your care provider if you feel persistently sad, overwhelmed, or if these feelings impact your quality of life.

If your doctor suspects perinatal depression, they may refer you to a mental health specialist and potentially recommend safe medications.
