Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are the most common complications of childbirth, affecting up to 1 in 5 mothers. While common, many often suffer with these illnesses in silence. PMADs are highly treatable with the correct support and care. Early recognition, open conversation, and access to effective treatment can make a powerful difference.
